Class the day before the 20th

Yesterday we started watching Food Inc. And I fond out alot of things about where our food comes from that I really had no idea about. This is actually my first post under this area of study, which is Humans and Other species. I really like this topic, mainly because I'm interested in human and animal rights in many aspects. I have alot of questions to ask during this unit, lots of which I hope to soon find answers to. Like, How would the world be affected by global vegetarianism? Millions of people would lose their jobs, and species may altogether go extinct. It obviously isn't a solution o this challenge. Also, if that isn't the solution, how can we change the food production industry so that it ends up doing more good than harm? Additionally, as we know, there is plenty of food in the world, however there is a distribusion issue; an issue which many people are well aware of. Seeing as this is the case, why wont governments, or families, do anything about this? Surely it wouldn't do anything harmful?
Alot of the way animals are treated in Food Inc, shocked me, because although I am aware as a vegetarian, I didn't know that indeptly, and it was difficult to sit through and watch some of the things that went on ... ):
