A friend of mine the other day casually told me to watch this film called “FOOD INC”. First of all I want you to know that I’am not getting any money from this, you‘ve just got to see this movie for your self it will make you stop and think dead in your tracks about the  food you are currently eating. This film is a mind blower and, a mouth dropper, and a super macho conversation babbler and grabber.

Most of us “inner city people that were not born or brought up on a farm in the country never really think about the food we buy in our local grocery stores and the fast food restaurant food that wine up in our stomachs. After seeing this film you will never look casually upon the meat you eat on a daily basics.

People that were born on a farm, look at people like myself as “city slicker green horns” when it comes down to killing an animal and eating it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Yes, I will admit I was born inside of NYC and I guess the city slicker part of the name in this instance comes from being that most people that live within inner city multiple dwelling apartment buildings and homes do not have to go out and kill their daily meal. It is true that we do not have to get up out of our beds get dressed and go out to shoot our meal as it runs by or go out to the cattle yard, or chicken coop in the backyard to slaughter a rooster or hen just to say ? Aaaaaa now that was a good tasty meal on a daily, weekly or whatever amount of time you wish in order to survive.

I’am not in any way trying to make fun of this but like Arsenal Hall The TV Comedian use to say……………………….

It’s One of Those Things That Make You Go – Ummmmmmmmmm !

City slicker fever comes in all ethnic colors and even if you are a Marshun from the planet called

{ { { SAY WHAT } } }

You too are a city slicker because you live in a place where you do not have to go out and shoot your next, meal as it runs by. A lot of us think most animals have no intelligence. Well I hate to burst your bubble but all living creatures have intelligence because they know when they are hungry, when they want sex, and they know where and how to find what they like to eat in order to stay alive just like humans do. Answering the questions that I just spoke of revels that animals do have a thought process in order to survive which means, every animal does have some level of intelligence.

There is a certain part during the film that I just could not get out of my mind. This part stayed on my mind for a whole week, now a person that grew up on a farm would probably laugh at me for saying this because they grew up watching their mother, father or relatives slaughtering helpless animals for their next meal everyday and have seen it so much that. It just does not faze or bother them anymore and they have totally become immune to it. They have grown up and now show or feelings or emotions when it comes down to watching a helpless animal being slaughtered right in front of their eyes. We as city slickers walk down to the corner store, step up to the counter and we buy our next meal compared to killing it as it runs by. The part in the film I’am talking about is, when you hear about the farmer stating that he prefers to raise his chickens on a organic farm compared to processing his chickens on a wholesale level. Make sure you look closely at this part because there is a part in the film where you will see how so called organically processes his chickens. Pay extra special attention, soon you will see one of the farmers sons individually taking each chicken out of their cage and then cutting its neck. It is a shocking wided eyed, mouth dropping experience for anyone to see. This is the part pay attention because you will see a rooster chicken in the cage awaiting his turn to be slaughtered while watching his friend being slaughtered in front of his eyes, he shows the same expression wided eye mouth dropping expression on his face as I had on my face as he realizes that he is next to be slaughtered.

               To me it is one of the parts of the film that stays in my mind and you will never forget. As you come to realize that, the expression on the chickens face is the same expression that a human being would have on their face if they were next in line to be, slaughtered! This should prove to you that chickens do have intelligence. This is a must see film and after seeing it you will never look at the food you eat again as a novice city slicker. Remember the name of the film is “FOOD INC “!

             When you see this film you will realize a couple of year’s ago, why Oprah Winfre changed her on air statement from talking negatively about the meat industry. When the meat industry contacted Oprah, I’am sure, when they got finished telling her that there are hundreds of thousands of people across the country employed within the meat industry and how would she replace those lost jobs due to her opening her mouth ?

         Oprah then realized she was in over her head and to end it all she decided to moon walk out backwards then to continue doing and saying the right thing. Nobody wants to see what the meat packers do or how they do it, city slickers in this case - meaning  anyone who does not want to go out into the backyard to capture or hide in the bushes and shoot their own meal as it runs by. We city slickers just want to eat and we do not care how we get it so long as we can buy it over our local area supermarket or grocery store counter.

Make sure you see this film, because, after seeing this film ? You’ll never look at your daily food, through the same closed eyes ever again.

I can’t help but think about the early iPod, how it was a luxury item that took some time to penetrate into the mainstream. The iPod, of course, wasn’t the first mp3 player on the market, but the design and interface of this particular player made it appealing. Before you knew it, the iPod wasn’t just playing music. It was playing photo slideshows and then it started playing video and now it plays video games.

The thing about the iPod was that it grabbed mindshare before it gained in market share. People had “heard” about the iPod and wanted to know more about it. They wanted to touch it and use it. And when the prices adjusted to make it more affordable, they wanted to buy it.

Like all of you, I don’t know for sure that Apple is even going to release a tablet of some sort next week. There have been so many leaks that I can’t imagine there won’t be one announced - but we could all be wrong. I also don’t know what this tablet will look like, though I’ve already said that I see it as a portable household multimedia device, kind of like a media player that sits on the coffee table but can easily move to a bedroom or the kitchen.

Also see: Apple Tablet: All you need to know

Do I see people lining up for this device the way they did for the iPhone? Maybe. But those will likely be the early adopters, the gadget lovers who have to be the first with the latest and greatest and are willing to pay any premium to get it.

The more important question is: Will Apple grab mindshare with this announcement next week?

Absolutely, it will. With this sort of news coverage, people in the biggest cities or the smallest towns around the globe will have to move into a cave to NOT hear about Apple’s new gadget. Not only will there be countless blog posts about it, but you can bet your last buck that local newscasts in middle America will also be mentioning it on their evening newscasts.

That’s instant mindshare. And that’s not a bad thing. It’s actually like the iPod all over again, except that the company gets to fast-forward immediately to the part where everyone knows about it and wants to see one and touch one.

And if all goes right with the economics, eventually everyone will want to buy one, too.
