Think about what you saw in today's video. Write a reflection about the how our food is raised and treated. Think mostly about the repercussions of the CHANGE in the way food is currently produced:
- If animals should have certain rights, do you think those rights also apply to animals we raise for food, like chickens or pigs? Are there any rights that these farm animals should have? If so, what are they?
- Richard Lobb of the National Chicken Council says in the film, “In a way, we’re not producing chickens, we’re producing food.” What does this statement mean? Do you agree or disagree with it? How might this perspective affect the way that chickens are raised?
- If we are in consensus that even food animals deserve to have a certain quality of life, who has the responsibility to oversee the treatment of chickens or other food animals? What responsibility do individuals and consumers have? The government? Companies?
- Think about the cost of food - how would a change in the way we treat animals change the price of what you have for dinner? Would you still be able to afford chicken? How would this change effect your life?
