Fast Food Nation
The Dark Side of the All-American Meal debut: On November 17th of
2006, the movie Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
made its debut in US theaters. The movie revolves around a fictional
chain called Mickey's and describes the way farm animals are raised in
today’s modern factory plants.
It includes scenes filmed in a Mexican slaughterplant showing with
graphic detail every step from the stunning of the animal until its
flesh is processed for food. Rebecca Weiss, writer for The Cornell Daily
Sun says, “There are a few scenes of unrelenting carnage, more
mercilessly graphic than anything you’ll have ever seen in the theatres.
Worse, there’s no way to console yourself afterwards — everything you’ve
seen is 100% real and all true to life” … ““The amount of times that
innards and giblet are depicted onscreen may convert the most staunch
carnivore into a cow-hugging tofu-championing vegetarian, nay, vegan.”
