The treatment of animals and workers are brutality the same.The
animals get slayed and slaughtered, for selfish goods of the human
consumers. Also, the workers are dying as well to package the meat
humans enjoy. The way the animals get treated and pushed around is
like they don't have feelings at all. Then workers are degraded and
sexually assaulted all because their immigrants. Farm workers are
forced to do weird and cruel things to those sweet animals, to uphold
contracts with companies such as Tyson. The treatment of animals and
workers are like a mirror image each other. Basically you can say
everyone in this business are animals. :( POOR ANIMALS.!

Great......I lost my topics list; however, I can talk about the
treatment of animals and workers. Animals are treated as if they
are....ANIMALS. Sadly when you think of a word with a bad connotation
that is used to degrade a human, people usually use ann animal. The
way they are fed artificial nutrition instead of feeding them heir
natural feed or allowing them to graze. The on-the-spot masscre of
them in large numbers despite the fact that the other animals are
watching is inhumane. Some have it easy like the kill floor procedure
used to kill pigs, but some have it bad like the chickens, who get
their necks slit, allowwing the blood to drip down as they lose
conscious and then chopping their neck off. I honestly think it's cost
efficient and "eco-friendly" because it doesn't call for large
machines to kill chickens and cows sometimes; however, that's really
messed up. The treatment of the workers is absolutely terrible. From
the time meat packing industires were created, the workers were
mistreated, and before the creation of workers' compensation, an
injured worker was force out and work and was poor. Today, the
conditions have gotten a little better, but the greed of money that
has our nation wrapped around "its" finger, is causing us to hurt the
people who prepare the very things we need to eat. A worker in many
big businesses is takem over by getting little to no pay-check, and
with that, the businesses tie them down in the system and keep them
there knowing that the person needs more money and can't afford to
leave. Fast Food Nation, to me, is modern society's Upton Sinclair's
The Jungle.

From the book, Fast Food Nation, to the movie, Food Inc.;two main
issue that are prevalent are the use of immigrnt workers, which are
under-paid and when they do have an accident it is unreported. While
mentioning unreported accidents both the book and the movie discuss
how dangerous meat packaging jobs at slaughter houses are. Like Brasia
was talking about, the abuse of animals and human workers are
mirrored. Lastly the uses of GMO’s were also talked about in both the
movie and book saying how they became illegal, but Food Inc., gave
more in-depth info about its one business who controls the GMO seed
and how they aren’t getting report due to the fact most government
officials have worked for this company. And also! The book talks
about, but the movie deepens the explanation on how the cows and other
animals are getting feed corn instead of regular which causes problem
such as ecoli ( could be misspelled) and salmonella, which they dip
the meat in ammonia solutions before selling (which is wrongfully
disgusting) to protect from large outbreaks.

The absolutely agree about the concept of animal abusing. The way
they treated animal in such a cruel way, I'm surprised most people are
so fine with it. I find it ironic that the human, mostly immigrants
who abuses these animal in slaughterhouses are also being abuse back
by the owners. How they are pushed around and sexually harassed, as
if they don't have feelings themselves. Another thing that I find so
unacceptable is the aprovement of GMOs and steroids in the food that
the animals eat. I can understand using it because they need to
create bigger meats to feed the high demand of product. But did they
every stop to think what side effects and effects it has on the animal
and the people who consumes the meat? All they care about is the
amount of money they makes, not about the consumer's health.

yes the treatment of animals is pretty mess up, but personally I feel that the treatment of the illegal workers id worst, them-meaning the corporation they work for-taking their lively hood like. The Corn corporation setting quit false advertisement so they can believe that their salvation comes from this lovely corporation that well pay them money, but in reality their the reason they ended up in that situation. I believe American corporation are the worst kinds of thieves, No they don't steal our money, or gold but something value to every body. They steal our lives.
