Moving Beyond Fast Food Nation

Peter Singer and Eric Schlosser explore the broad and compelling issues and ethical dilemmas surrounding food production in the U.S. and the choices individuals make regarding the food they eat.

Absolutely incredible speech by Eric Schlosser. Thank you.

[@martinhyizna3299]

Absolutely brilliant. Sad that Eric's warnings are already 16 years old. Even sadder that his worst fears not only came true but have evolved to irreparable depths.

[@ctowtf]

Excellent talk ! Thank you for all your hard work ! !

[@Randomalia]

Is this Peter Singer from South Africa?? Lekker boet! This a very important topic that far too few people care about. Good stuff. Keep it up!

Here is some truth to go with the bad news. It is not always pleasant, but when people see the order and deceit behind what seems to be always bad news, how to develop one's own good news follows. If you wish : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYGWhY2ea6ZpjMk

The reason I so admire Eric's analysis is that it's so systems oriented. Corporate responsibility. Collective responsibility. Yes. Spot on. I think we all find solace in trying to eat inline with our values, our ethics. But I couldn't agree more that our purchasing power is not going to systematically change food production. It is fundamentally democratic to hold ourselves accountable to wrangle the power of food brands. I choose to work on the Campaign for Fair Food - endorsed by Eric. You?

[@ALucas73]

the transfats problem occurs because of the push to remove beef tallow from their fryers years ago because of the mistaken belief that saturated fats are bad for humans. In New Zealand McDonalds uses free-range eggs for their breakfast menu. The U.S. needs to follow McDonalds NZ's lead.

I practice a natural bodybuilding training routine....been doing that for over 40 years now........but I never eat red meat anymore..........however I have noticed in the recent past that when on a rare occassion I would eat beef it had a steriod like effect on my traning..............scary.......

[@LadyBludgeon]

I'm so siding with Mr. Schlosser. He nailed it. I love how he talks about respect & dignity towards the workers of food. I get agitated & annoyed when people mistreats those who are handling food. Are you stupid!? That person is handling what you put into your body. Granted & thankfully many of these workers have more decency & consideration than the folks who belittle & patronize them, otherwise there would be a lot of cases of food poisoning. It doesn't take much to be grateful & considerate.

I have no idea who this guy is but he's a Talking Heads fan... Therefore I shall be buying the book mentioned ("Chew On This") for my niece. Is there such a term as "marketing by proxy" or something?

[@MrMadrid691]

If only people were more aware of how their food purchases impact the environment, animals and people in other parts of the country, than these food processors, and the multi-national corporations that work with them, would finally clean up their act. There have been improvements over the years but the system is far from perfect and it is our responsibility as citizens to become aware of their businesses practices, and then protest in a meaningful way. One to do so is simple: don't eat the food.

[@archaedemos]

yes i wonder that as well

Im sure all americans are aware of the inpending dangers of eating fast food, but we have to respect their individual decisions if they want to eat fast food knowingthedangers

For an ideal compromise between meat-eating and vegetarianism, find out about mammaltarianism, a diet that excludes most mammal-meat. Search "Mammaltarian" on KZbin. Go Mammals!
