As far as the way our country handles meat, I think I'll be a vegetarian now. {Just don't think I'm totally ready for that jump} I am seriously thinking about cutting out beef and pork from our diet all together. {we never really eat pork anyway} I would love to be able to buy free range chicken but I just can't afford it at this time in my life. I think I will still eat eggs and fish.
My friends came over last night to do a recipe swap and we got to talking about the Word Of Wisdom. My friend asked, how often do you eat meat? Sparingly? I am pretty sure that my family and I eat meat at least twice a day. I think that changing to a couple days a week would be better.
Let me know what you think. I am not sure myself yet.
*Please be kind. I am not looking for a fight. I know this film has its lies. It is targeting the large corporations NOT the farmers. I support grass fed cattle and free range chicken.

I wanted to either go vegetarian or start raising all my own food after watching that too. I recently watched The Future of Food and it strengthened my resolve to grow a great garden this summer. I recommend you watch it if you liked Food, Inc. Very interesting stuff if a little scary.
yuck! problem, we love meat too much to give it up. I think we do need to cut back a bit though. by the way you look fab! so glad you are feeling better. quick question your face always looks so good what kind of foundation do you use?
because i live alone and just cook for myself i Rarely cook meat. rarely rarely. i find ways to eat it though, with less hassle. Like chicken apple gouda sausages at Costco. low cal, a good source of protein in my dinner. anyway, i wouldn't cut out meat completely...just be careful of where it comes from ;)
after watching this we went all organic. I think it is worth the price difference to get real food. Ben has always wanted a farm to raise his own chickens and cows...but I don't really want to live in the country. I couldn't eat meat for a couple weeks after I watched that tho.
I thought that show was a little eccentric and obviously had an agenda. I don't think eating meat is against the w.o.w. even if it is from a chicken/cow/pig that's been given "steroids" but some people feel differently. I actually think it's a luxury to live in a country where you can be so picky about what you eat. Even though we didn't raise animals on the farm I grew up in, I don't feel bad if a chicken's life is spent in a coup because it's on the earth for one purpose- for food. That's my opinion and I know that a lot people feel differently.
cutting back to eating meat a few times a week would be such an awesome thing to do not only for the health of your family but also for the well being of our earth! i am a vegetarian but i don't believe that everyone should be. my husband and i always buy organic and because we don't eat meat we can afford it. maybe by cutting back on your meat consumption you can afford it too? organic chicken once a week instead of regular three or four times??
good luck on this new adventure, i hope to read more about it your blog.
I saw this film and it has forever changed me. I haven't stepped foot in McDonald's in over 2 yrs! My husband and I don't have money to buy fancy food all the time, but we have made this a priority. We've cut back on packaged foods (macaroni grill meal packages, frozen foods, rice a roni, etc.) and buy more fresh fruits and veggies from a local farmer's market. I also buy most of my meat at the farmer's market, which is all natural/no enhancers, no fillers, no hormones. I use coupons for non-edible groceries so I can afford the good food. The extra $20 I might spend each week on fresh/local food is worth the effort. Good luck!
