Chipolte Video

Geeze, that's a sad one ... makes me want to become a true vegetarian.  But, I've watched it several times because it is really impactful.

The video makes you think, and it is sad.

I love the song, though. It's from the movie *bleep* Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Now I can quote more of the lyrics when I sing along with Mr. Wonka in the movie. I love the songs in there. They're so full of wonderful meaning.  :D

I can't believe they bleeped Mr. Wonka's first name on here. Seriously? It's not Bleep Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!!   ::)

Fiona Apple sings the song in the Chipotle video, and does a great job!

Thanks for sharing that information.  I think it is also very sad.

What that video is trying to tell us is that our food is shot full of hormones and antibiotics.  I love the job that Fiona Apple did with the song.  The worst part of that video for me was seeing that poor cow's face.  She was devastated, her eyes were as big as saucers.  She was locked away in a dark space and in a small box with no room to move (which is how many of the animals we use as food are treated, and much worse).  These are just some of the reasons why our beef and chicken just don't taste the same anymore.  The stress they feel also plays a big part in how the meat will taste to us.  It's very sad, indeed.  The end of that video tells us that it's up to US to change the way things are done and that yes, it is possible!

That video is really sad, The impact of this video to me is really strong, makes me feels like dont want to eat beef and chicken, I really feels sorry to the chicken that they inject something to make her big and gain more weight for profit. Gees, animal abuse.. and yes, the cow, sigh...that tag... feels like his days are numbered.  :(

Do you want to know something?  I felt the exact same way after viewing this sad video.  After it ended, I think I looked up at the wall and probably said something like - "I'll just have the salad, with no meat."  I want to cry at the part where the door is closing slowly and the adorable cow with the sad eyes is looking. I also get teary when the chicken is getting fattened up.  I'll take the veggie burger with my salad please.  Thanks.   :(

It is true that some farming practices are not pleasant, and sometimes downright inhumane.  I, however, do live near an Organic dairy farm, and can say some of that imagery doesnt look different than whats out the window anyways.

Just finished watching this video and wow does it send a sad message. The documentary, Food, Inc., sends a similar message about where are food comes from. Watch it and it will scare you.
