On The Goode Family and Infiltration

Animal Person

Image via Wikipedia I found The Goode Family disappointing on the vegan side. Another opportunity for infiltration (heh, heh, heh) has presented itself on Intent.com , which has a " Food and Nutrition " page that already has posts about mindful eating and vegetarianism.

Animal Ethics

For an explanation of this feature, click on “Moral Vegetarianism” at the bottom of this post. Most moral vegetarians list fish and fowl as animals one should not eat.

Meanwhile, gorillas don't live in a traditional human family structure of mom, dad and kids, but somehow their family structure is an important reason for us to save them. All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen).

On "Food Inc."

Animal Person

There's no remotely vegan or even vegetarian (though I'm not even sure what the latter would look like) message. They grill the chickens, and trust me when I say it's all presented as a peak spiritual experience. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Film Language. If there's a lesson in Food Inc.,
