Fast Food Nation was the reason I stopped eating meat. Sure, it's only a movie but I think it's a fairly realistic cinematic interpretation of what's happening in slaughter houses in the US.

Excerpted from the website:
Read up on it here! I really respect a fairly major "fast-food" chain taking an initiative to be more aware of their food and how it ends up in the bellies of consumers. So, even if we don't care where our food comes from, the producers do and they do it with integrity which is very respectable.
What exactly is Chipolte doing?

Excerpted from the website:
It means serving the very best sustainably raised food possible with an eye to great taste, great nutrition and great value. It means that we support and sustain family farmers who respect the land and the animals in their care. It means that whenever possible we use meat from animals raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. And it means that we source organic and local produce when practical. And that we use dairy from cows raised without the use of synthetic hormones. Food With Integrity is a journey that started more than a decade ago and one that will never end.
