I am vegetarian, I always have been and so are most of my family just because of stuff like this. I only eat fish because they live a perfectly happy life until the moment they are killed so it doesn't bother me that much, but I think stuff like this is just horrific and I can't understand how some of you find this ok ?
Saying that it doesnt matter if they live a good life becouse they are going to get killed is just as saying. I dont need to live a good life becouse Im still gonna die one day.......
What exactly is untrue about this video??? This is true and not only do these methods do damage to the animals,but also to communities economies and crime rates, it also creates issues of marginalization among individuals (ie immigrants)...Also think of all the runoff of manure that goes into ground water because there is only so much manure that can be used to fertilize land, the rest gets disposed of and goes into our water supply
this is soooo stupid.. none of this is true. if animals are kept close like that, its to keep them safe for a few days.. not there whole life!. this is very stupid.. Please dont fall for there lies. I love animals. I'm a vegetarian and I disagree with this soo much.
you are extremely misled if you really are a vegetarian i push you and anybody who is willing to watch a film called food inc. it explains everything about how the food in this country is produced after you watch that then please try preaching that this isn't how things are done. because this is exactly how it is and this is a version for ppl to learn in a qiuck way and for anyone to understand but its all true
Doesn't matter how they are treated? Really? Would you rather live in filth your entire life and be killed or would you rather live a wonderful life and be killed. I'm guessing you'd take option 2. Suffering is suffering whether you kill them or not.
@DavidInSugarLand your right and wrong the reason why we are the domanent on this panet is because we kill the others and also if we get attacked by a pandemic and the infected are in a isolated place and slowly getting out what do you do?
Yeah sure Dark Ones Puppet, you made all of the farms organic at least & to proper organic standards, in two years. That's why your amazing success story has been so publicly broadcast all over the news.
You still think you can do a Cypher, and it'll all be revealed to be virtual reality don't you. Think Again.
at about 2:05 the part about epidemic and disease germs.... well gues what, H1N1 , the swine flu, that was from factory farms in the USA in 2008, at some point apparently spread to mexico, then spread to humans in 2009. So videos like this are NOT bullshit.
Factory farming has been outlawed in California, for all the reasons stated in this film, and also because it produces more greenhouse gasses than all the cars on Earth.
meat is not a bad thing, but the way it is produced is horrific. also, the way meat is advertised is totally out of proportion. meat needs to be consumed in healthy moderation.
wow, this video is just as biased as that Vegan Video. not all farms are factory farms and it's not animal cruelty if the animal gets killed and fed to starving people. it's videos like this that is brainwashing people into believing eating meat is wrong yet eating meat is so so right.
This video is stupid, for example if everyone in Britain is too eat free range meat, an area the size of Texas will be needed to act as farmland, factory farming is cheap, cost efficent and necessary for an international economy to be mantained.
The problem is not only this ugly way of feeding animals. Which makes us fat and ill. It's the dissipation of grain. Most soy and wheat is eaten by animals. And you get just 10% of the calories you put in those animals. There wont be no reason to burn more rain forest, to let children starve if we would directly eat wheat and soy. The suffering of the animals is not the biggest thing.
This doesnt mean you have to stop eating meat all together you ignorant people! it means have some freakin consideration for the animals. it means tune it down a notch! sale and money is that all you can think of. money does not provide your happiness. this video means only buy organic meat to support the cause and if you cannt afford it eat less non organic meat!!
this video does not mean dont eat meat all together you morons!! it just means have some freakin consideration for the animals. money is not happiness. sales sales sales is that all you can think of???? it means buy only Organic meat and support the cause if you can afford it and if you cant than just eat meat less often..
and its less guilty too since the animals had good lives.
3: Factory farms are very bad for the environment. The fumes and wastes that come from them add greatly to global warming. SO if you care about the environment: Eat free range meat! Encourage your friends too! :)
Thank you so much for reading this if you did! :) And next time you go to buy meat in the store or cafeteria, think first, there is always free range meat(even better)or the option to go vegetarian!bye:)
Love this video, wished they went past Meatrix II, it's less gross then the real thing, seeing the real thing makes me cry. I find this video family friendly, to show my kids, to entertain and educate, with less tears and great facts added, that most video don't have, good job!!!
Looking forward to seeing more great videos like this.
We humans eat tooo much meat. Did you know it take about double as much space to pruduce organic food than non organic? I like met and we should keep eating but only from family farms, and in a moderate consumption
all the poo from those farms is used to fertilize vegetables. the chicken poo is used to fertilize corn and cotton fields around where i live. its a cruel necessity. and with the earth's population doubling every century or whatever we will just have to learn to deal with stuff like this. people gotta eat ya know
The only reason we need factory farms is because us westerners eat much more meat than we need, especially in north america. our bodies need mostly plants, and just some meat/alternitives. All we eat in north america is bleached wheat products and meat.
You don't need to consume stuff that can KILL you though, do you? I have been a vegetarian for about a year, and I am so much more healthy, and I found ways to keep consuming Iron and Protein.
I think most people would agree if I said that this video biased, which it is. The most important message to learn from this video is that most farm industries are not like this at all. There are, however, the very few that will break some of these rules which are sometimes even the "small farmers". There is nothing to worry about in this video. All farm industries are inspected and regulated by the EPA and health department! This is just an over exaggeration to be laughed upon.
I agree with you, but the people who made this video want people to believe that all factory farms are like this which is ridiculus. I have been to many factory farms( which a lot of these people who protest these farms have never been to one) and they are nothing like what they try to depict here. They are quite clean, sanitary and very open spaced for cattle. Most of these farms have better conditions than family farms. But these people want others to believe that all farms are evil.
Obviously you're just speculating because you actually haven't seen one, but they're just plain bad.
One CAFO (confined animal feeding operation) creates as much waste as a city of 70,000 people. And none of it is treated before it is used on crops and eventually runs off into our water.
And there is literally no regulation because the EPA doesnt control ag. the USDA does and they are all for the big companies that own these places. So theyre no help
You are brainwashed. Our government has decided that in order to make money, we have to produce unneeded amounts of meat and other foods, which usually end up in the garbage. The EPA is run by the government... (Oh, if you watch the Simpsons Movie, listen to Russ Cargil or whatever his name is. He actually is the head of the EPA)
So, you are a meat eater and advocate of incarcerating defenseless earthlings, slaughtering, and the consumption of them. If you are not Vegan, you are everything aforementioned. Your statement is analogous to saying that the Jews were not treated all that bad before they were incinerated back during WWII. Grow up, and stop eating dead animals! You have the audacity to post a conciliatory comment on this subject. Shame on you!
Feel free to be a Vegan, but do NEVER EVER again try to force one into becoming one like that.
Telling people to stop is WRONG, giving them the choice is what you should do, we understand Vegans, but for some reason you goodie two shoe people never try to understand US.
I'm vegetarian, and though I'll only eat dairy and eggs and honey and so forth that's at least organic, I still know it's not good enough because it should be at the least completely separately farmed from anything that actually kills the animals.
Some people though, can't admit things they do are wrong or could be improved.
You have no idea what you're talking about. I've BEEN to a factory farm and this treatment is the rule rather than the exception. Don't let them trick you.
As a vegetarian taking a livestock and meat production course, I have a little more insight on the issue than Joe Blow. I don't eat meat, but I also don't like those bashing factory farms just because they're ugly and unpleasant.
Truth is that factory farms are not the enemy that we would like to portray. Factory farm or family farm, any animal production requires large doses of antibiotics, growth hormones, and other pharmaceuticals in order to keep supply up with consumer demand. Although crowding in the swine and poultry industry is not pleasant to look at, it's also necessary to keep up with demand.
Again, if done correctly e.g. using natural ecological symbioses and feeding on organic pastures. And I really don't know about "ANY animal production requiring pharmaceuticals and antibiotics" (growth hormone is certainly not required on an organic farm), but since these animals are treated much more humanely and are much healthier, the use of medicine would be DRASTICALLY lower. And isn't it ridiculous that our demand is so high, that we need to pump our animals with harmful drugs??? How sad.
After all, we feed more than one hundred percent of the US population with only two percent of the workforce and a diminishing percentage of pastureland. If we were to suddenly move toward a less efficient production means (i.e. family farms), then supply would plummet and prices would sky-rocket.
Whoa whoa whoa, I've seen very successful organic family farms that are operated on a large scale. I don't know how it compares to a factory farm, but I'm sure if done correctly, production would at least be comparable. Our farmers and our people need to be educated on these issues, instead of settling for the status quo.
There'd be wasteful government spending to try and protect farmers' income. And who would suffer the most? The poorest American who would not be able to afford overpriced meat. Don't romanticize the destruction of factory farms until you consider all the effects, Bud.

I'm glad you posted these comments, b/c it really shows how complex this problem is. It's not gonna fix itself overnight, b/c it's a problem that's gotten worse over the past 50 years. But I totally disagree with you're "that's the way it is so just eat less meat" approach. I hope people understand that factory farms produce food that's less nutritious, causes sickness ie Mad Cow, produces tons of pollution in its production and advocates unethical treatment of animals, so be wise & GO ORGANIC!
I don't want people to be vegetarians. I know from experience that it's unhealthy and inefficient. Meat is a very good source of multiple types of nutrients. However, Americans have taken meant consumption too far. Meat is a luxury good that we prefer in unhealthy amounts. We can help our personal, environmental, and ethical health by reducing consumption of meat (and NOT eliminating it altogether).
It we reduce our consumption of meat, we reduce out demand for meat. I don't think the video portrayed this well though. It's not the factory farm's fault. The factory farms are just doing what's economically natural: making a profit off of our demand. If we change our demand by consuming less meat, then the suppliers will be forced to change their production to continue making a profit. It's a win-win.

One last thing to keep in mind: There isn't really a "local" meat supply. Unless you're hunting aurochs yourself or buying from Neighbor Nate (who must still have his meat federally inspected), your "local" beef you bought in the organic superstore is still probably beef that was grown in a 10,000 head capacity feedlot and shipped five hundred miles to the "local" killfloor to become "local" beef.
Check out the details of your "local" certified beef program. The program specs, by federal law, must be online. "Local" program such as Ohio Signature Beef, Oregon Trail Beef, Iowa Best Beef, and others have such vague specs that it's allowed—and happens that—meat from many states away forms a large part of the product.
I'm not saying that it's hopeless. I'm just saying that we need to get the facts straight before we start pointing fingers.
in the Bible is said - don't kill. This is the right principe of nonviolence. Be a vegetarian/ vegan makes a different because that way of living during one human life saves life of 5 cows, 20 pigs, 29 sheeps, 760 chickens, 46 turkey-cock, 15 ducks 500 kg of fish etc, etc...
If you are a vegetarian, you are not saving any animals unless you put in a large effort protesting and such. The animals you aren't eating are still being slaughtered for others to eat. You are simply not eating them and leaving them there to go to waste. Meat is Murder. Tasty, Tasty Murder.
I think some people are missing the point of the video. It is not to promote a vegetarian diet at all, but rather to think about where our food is coming from, so that we can have a more sustainable food supply. The point they are trying to make is to buy local meat that has not been factory farmed, fed antibiotics, or other such things. Do you know where your food is coming from? Or what it has touched?
I think the point is being missed here. It is not a vegan clip it is for sustainable farming -vs- manufactured farming. (ei. the fast food places that grow chickens only to a specific bun sizes etc...). This is true how the animals are raised for our food supply. Really need to do some more research on this. I think you would all be pretty disgusted and repulsed. This is 99.7% correct.
lol most have you ever asked a vegetarian why they were one, all of you ignorant red necks. I choose not to eat meat because The amount of food they feed the stupid cows is a lot more food than comes out of the cow, plus all the issues with the f-ed up growth hormones you eat in the meat. anybody that thinks that those arent good reasons is just plain retarded.
Thank you all for your hardwork on this excellent, informative, frightening, and necessary piece of edu-tainment. I have started on the vegan path. It is the first diet mentioned in the Bible, and given the imbalance Mankind now has with Nature, I think its the most ethical thing I as a moral creation can do.
It was great! As for those individuals that believe that this type of behavior is acceptable for humans to practice on animals, or for an industry to carlessly placing people lives in harm. ignorant individuals ..
the question is not if it speaks if it can think ,its if it can suffer that should be enough .. GREAT WORK ON THE VIDEO THANK YOU GOD BLESS
I think people doesn't understand the message here. The message is not " Be a vegetarian or you are wrong", the message here is be careful about what you eat, whatever it is(vegetables, meat, milk...)That's all.
Well, I'm not vegeterian because I hope to change the world. I'm vegetarian because I feel good with myself about it. And if my ideas are different than yours...well that doesn't make me a veggiehead bull or whatever you say. Dont' be intolerant.

Being a vegan won't make a differant for the animals that will continually be killed for hte rest of the world who aren't vegans. Oh and the bible clearly states that the animals were put on earth for our use. So if you going to say something religious, at leat make it correct.
I'm going to take your last statement and redirect it at you because people misunderstand that one verse in the bible. Evidence: ww w . all-creatures . org/cva/honoring . h tm
vegans contribute to less animal cruelty in the meat industry by not eating meat. It doesn't matter what the rest of the world does, it's about having principles. The amount of vegans in the world is increasing, so...
It will make difference to your health. where do you think all those antibiotics end up .yep in you . Plus localized faming is more sustainable and healthy.Eat meat but know its source ..Otherwise its pretty likely that in the future you will be struck with some undiagnosable Disease or more common, Cancer. We are the consequence of What we eat .The planet will have us as it's lunch we are all in the cycle of the food chain. It's just a matter of time.Burnt to a mineral crisp or maggots meal.
will u vegetarians stop bitchin!!! its an animal. it tastes good but i guess u wouldnt know wat it tastes like because ur too worried about ur steaks feelings! i swear to god ur almost as bad as the feminazis. grow up and eat ur meat.
vegetarians don´t care so much about what you want to eat. That's your choice. And it is mine to be vegetarian. I'm free to do that. And I think you can see this video and give your opinion respectfully.
vegitarians need to stop pressuring ppl into not eating meat... im a veg but it's persons own choice to eat meat or not... so STOP ur giving veggies a bad rap
Actually, I think that this isn't really pressuring, but informing. They do over do it a bit, but I really dont think they're convincing people to be vegs. I mean, today was Thanksgiving, and when I thought about what they did to the turkey...*shudder* But, it's your opinion.
You're stupid. The meat industry and the dominant culture, generally exerts a thousand times more pressure on everyone to eat meat than do vegs on meateaters. The pressure applied by vegs doesn't come anywhere close to balance. You'd need 10,000 of these type videos to begin APPROACHING balance.
This is not about trying to convert meat eaters to vegetarian/vegans! It's about how horrible this system is for not only the animals but for those who eat this meat. Pumping these animals full of hormones and antibiotics is bad for them as well as us! Too many hormones in our body tend to form clusters of cells that aren't breaking down or excreting which will lead to tumors which will then lead to cancer!!!!!
Exactly! ANd to also promote local farmers that tend to have less animals on their farm, which means that they take better care of them! STOP FACTORY FARMING!!
its okay to eat meat but they are keeping animals so cramped up that they get sick and then we eat the sick animals and then we get sick and thats nasty
After watching this video the first time i became a veggitarian for a while, lol. Im not anymore but i still get sick in my stomach when i eat McDonnalds
in response to all the against eating meat and for eating meat comments: that's not what this video is about!! it's about buying organically, and not supporting factory farms!
if you eat meat or not it's not supporting this in any way, shape or form, its simply telling us, 'listen guys, this is what's going on around there, know what you're buying coz this is what that stuff is made out of'... it's not in any way meant to be propaganda
I would totally support that, except I hate every single Fruit and Vegetable I have ever eaten, so I have to eat meat. So instead I'll leave you with this message of peace:
there is no problem in eating meat, just buy organic meat instead support organic farmers and stop supporting the fast food companies. make your own organic burgers instead of eating at McDonald's and others. education might just free this world one day.
I am vegetarian, I always have been and so are most of my family just because of stuff like this. I only eat fish because they live a perfectly happy life until the moment they are killed so it doesn't bother me that much, but I think stuff like this is just horrific and I can't understand how some of you find this ok ?

I think most people would agree if I said that this video biased, which it is. The most important message to learn from this video is that most farm industries are not like this at all. There are, however, the very few that will break some of these rules which are sometimes even the "small farmers". There is nothing to worry about in this video. All farm industries are inspected and regulated by the EPA and health department! This is just an over exaggeration to be laughed upon.

You clearly know JACK SHIT...factory farming makes up the VAST majority of American farming and they are EXACTLY like this.
UrDoinItWrong 3 years ago
I agree with you, but the people who made this video want people to believe that all factory farms are like this which is ridiculus. I have been to many factory farms( which a lot of these people who protest these farms have never been to one) and they are nothing like what they try to depict here. They are quite clean, sanitary and very open spaced for cattle. Most of these farms have better conditions than family farms. But these people want others to believe that all farms are evil.

Man you really don't know do you?
Obviously you're just speculating because you actually haven't seen one, but they're just plain bad.
One CAFO (confined animal feeding operation) creates as much waste as a city of 70,000 people. And none of it is treated before it is used on crops and eventually runs off into our water.
And there is literally no regulation because the EPA doesnt control ag. the USDA does and they are all for the big companies that own these places. So theyre no help

You are brainwashed. Our government has decided that in order to make money, we have to produce unneeded amounts of meat and other foods, which usually end up in the garbage. The EPA is run by the government... (Oh, if you watch the Simpsons Movie, listen to Russ Cargil or whatever his name is. He actually is the head of the EPA)

So, you are a meat eater and advocate of incarcerating defenseless earthlings, slaughtering, and the consumption of them. If you are not Vegan, you are everything aforementioned. Your statement is analogous to saying that the Jews were not treated all that bad before they were incinerated back during WWII. Grow up, and stop eating dead animals! You have the audacity to post a conciliatory comment on this subject. Shame on you!

I do not know to what you responded nor do i care.
I am only stating a response to your typical group following way of complaining about meat eaters.
Yeh, animals are defenceless against us, for we have powered ourselves with technology.
Yes, we eat these helpless creatures, since eating anything that does fight back tends to end in bloody.
Meat eaters will ALWAYS exist, that is what we are, that is what you are, an omnivore.

At least the most of you don't.

I'm vegetarian, and though I'll only eat dairy and eggs and honey and so forth that's at least organic, I still know it's not good enough because it should be at the least completely separately farmed from anything that actually kills the animals.
Some people though, can't admit things they do are wrong or could be improved.

As a vegetarian taking a livestock and meat production course, I have a little more insight on the issue than Joe Blow. I don't eat meat, but I also don't like those bashing factory farms just because they're ugly and unpleasant.

Truth is that factory farms are not the enemy that we would like to portray. Factory farm or family farm, any animal production requires large doses of antibiotics, growth hormones, and other pharmaceuticals in order to keep supply up with consumer demand. Although crowding in the swine and poultry industry is not pleasant to look at, it's also necessary to keep up with demand.
[RANT tbc.]
sitylites 3 years ago
Again, if done correctly e.g. using natural ecological symbioses and feeding on organic pastures. And I really don't know about "ANY animal production requiring pharmaceuticals and antibiotics" (growth hormone is certainly not required on an organic farm), but since these animals are treated much more humanely and are much healthier, the use of medicine would be DRASTICALLY lower. And isn't it ridiculous that our demand is so high, that we need to pump our animals with harmful drugs??? How sad.
thetruth87 3 years ago
[RANT ctd.]
After all, we feed more than one hundred percent of the US population with only two percent of the workforce and a diminishing percentage of pastureland. If we were to suddenly move toward a less efficient production means (i.e. family farms), then supply would plummet and prices would sky-rocket.
[RANT tbc]
sitylites 3 years ago
Whoa whoa whoa, I've seen very successful organic family farms that are operated on a large scale. I don't know how it compares to a factory farm, but I'm sure if done correctly, production would at least be comparable. Our farmers and our people need to be educated on these issues, instead of settling for the status quo.

There'd be wasteful government spending to try and protect farmers' income. And who would suffer the most? The poorest American who would not be able to afford overpriced meat. Don't romanticize the destruction of factory farms until you consider all the effects, Bud.

I'm glad you posted these comments, b/c it really shows how complex this problem is. It's not gonna fix itself overnight, b/c it's a problem that's gotten worse over the past 50 years. But I totally disagree with you're "that's the way it is so just eat less meat" approach. I hope people understand that factory farms produce food that's less nutritious, causes sickness ie Mad Cow, produces tons of pollution in its production and advocates unethical treatment of animals, so be wise & GO ORGANIC!
thetruth87 3 years ago
[RANT ctd.]
I don't want people to be vegetarians. I know from experience that it's unhealthy and inefficient. Meat is a very good source of multiple types of nutrients. However, Americans have taken meant consumption too far. Meat is a luxury good that we prefer in unhealthy amounts. We can help our personal, environmental, and ethical health by reducing consumption of meat (and NOT eliminating it altogether).
[RANT tbc.]

It we reduce our consumption of meat, we reduce out demand for meat. I don't think the video portrayed this well though. It's not the factory farm's fault. The factory farms are just doing what's economically natural: making a profit off of our demand. If we change our demand by consuming less meat, then the suppliers will be forced to change their production to continue making a profit. It's a win-win.

One last thing to keep in mind: There isn't really a "local" meat supply. Unless you're hunting aurochs yourself or buying from Neighbor Nate (who must still have his meat federally inspected), your "local" beef you bought in the organic superstore is still probably beef that was grown in a 10,000 head capacity feedlot and shipped five hundred miles to the "local" killfloor to become "local" beef.
[RANT tbc.]
sitylites 3 years ago
[RANT ctd.]
Check out the details of your "local" certified beef program. The program specs, by federal law, must be online. "Local" program such as Ohio Signature Beef, Oregon Trail Beef, Iowa Best Beef, and others have such vague specs that it's allowed—and happens that—meat from many states away forms a large part of the product.
I'm not saying that it's hopeless. I'm just saying that we need to get the facts straight before we start pointing fingers.

in the Bible is said - don't kill. This is the right principe of nonviolence. Be a vegetarian/ vegan makes a different because that way of living during one human life saves life of 5 cows, 20 pigs, 29 sheeps, 760 chickens, 46 turkey-cock, 15 ducks 500 kg of fish etc, etc...

If you are a vegetarian, you are not saving any animals unless you put in a large effort protesting and such. The animals you aren't eating are still being slaughtered for others to eat. You are simply not eating them and leaving them there to go to waste. Meat is Murder. Tasty, Tasty Murder.

I think some people are missing the point of the video. It is not to promote a vegetarian diet at all, but rather to think about where our food is coming from, so that we can have a more sustainable food supply. The point they are trying to make is to buy local meat that has not been factory farmed, fed antibiotics, or other such things. Do you know where your food is coming from? Or what it has touched?

I think the point is being missed here. It is not a vegan clip it is for sustainable farming -vs- manufactured farming. (ei. the fast food places that grow chickens only to a specific bun sizes etc...). This is true how the animals are raised for our food supply. Really need to do some more research on this. I think you would all be pretty disgusted and repulsed. This is 99.7% correct.

You're stupid. The meat industry and the dominant culture, generally exerts a thousand times more pressure on everyone to eat meat than do vegs on meateaters. The pressure applied by vegs doesn't come anywhere close to balance. You'd need 10,000 of these type videos to begin APPROACHING balance.

This is not about trying to convert meat eaters to vegetarian/vegans! It's about how horrible this system is for not only the animals but for those who eat this meat. Pumping these animals full of hormones and antibiotics is bad for them as well as us! Too many hormones in our body tend to form clusters of cells that aren't breaking down or excreting which will lead to tumors which will then lead to cancer!!!!!
