Well, don’t do as I did and accidentally take your ten your old to see “Food Inc. ” because you thought it was the animated flick about the little boy who invents a machine that makes food fall from the sky thus ending world hunger. Food Inc. was a documentary about the industrialization of American agriculture which depicted slaughter and cruelty to farm animals and even ragged on the corn business . Government subsidies of corn production enabled the US to sell our corn cheaply in Mexico thereby putting Mexican farmers out of business forcing them to come work in US slaughterhouses slaughtering cows fed corn that they didn’t evolve to eat rendering them more susceptible to E.coli and consequently distributing tainted meat and death sentences to young children in the US. Now Spencer won’t eat anything. Tried to slide In and Out past him last week and he moaned, “MOM! That’s an ECO-LIE!”. When I realized that we weren’t buying tickets to a happy animated film I thought, “Hey, this will be good for us to watch.” It reminded me of why I was a vegetarian for 15 years and it royally messed up my menu planning for the offspring. Damn.

I’ve had similar conversations with Cecilia! And you gotta love those Dino-nuggets. We’ve recently been eating Mickey Mouse nuggets. Now that would be confusing, too — Mickey Mouse nuggets are actually chicken? Are you fer reelz?
