A reason that this movie really hits hard, to me at least, is the fact that they use and abuse of the immigrants. Coming from a family of immigrants, I find it unnerving and irritating how they treat the workers. They think that because they are immigrants that they can treat them like lower than scum and make them work in conditions that are less than ideal.
Another reason this movie is so controversial is the fact that they also abuse of the animals that are sent and made into burger patties and chicken nuggets. Feeding them things that they shouldn't even be eating, making them sick and potentially harming the people that eat them. I for one rarely eat meat and I definitely don't eat fast food. I don't even like to think of the things those poor animals go through, just so big corporations could make a big profit and sit happily at their desks without a care in the world.
Eaarth: Lightly, Carefully, Gracefully was an interesting read. At first I was overwhelmed with him talking about Kip Culler's farm. I wasn't sure where he was going with it and I was getting confused. But after reading more into it I got his message. I realized what his whole concept is. Instead of giving our money from profits to big corporations, and letting the big weights take all the jobs, we should create much more food and jobs by making smaller farms. His plan is to make us more united, not just the stranger that lives next door. If we share what we have, and help each other out, not only will we be better people, but we will be able to spend less money. Things would go back to the "old days" where everyone knew everyone and everyone depended on everyone. It's an interesting concept, one that I am not sure I could live by, but if it could somehow help our planet, I would definitely try.
