B'fast today started off with miso soup, some bok choi drizzled with Ume Vinegar, and instead of the Barley with Sweet Rice and Corn, I made some brown rice porridge with fresh plums, linseed, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon (S was craving something a little less savoury).
I made S watch the dvd "Meet Your Meat" last night as I figured he was more than halfway through his challenge, a quarter of the way through the book "Eating Animals", and it seemed like a good time to educate him a bit further about the industry that is the biggest contributing factor to global warming.
I didn't expect it to affect him as much as it did (although for that movie not to have an effect on a person would have to mean that person is truly heartless and devoid of emotion), and S went to bed feeling truly sad and depressed, with his words at breakfast, "that movie should be shown on national tv so that everyone can be educated about where their meet comes from..."
It's all about education. Most people aren't even aware of the true effects of factory farming -on the animals, the environment, and on their own human health. I'm sure that the more and more people were made to be aware of the impacts, the less they'd want to support such a cruel and heartless industry...
