This article provides the author urges consumers to become aware of the process involved in producing the food we eat every day. If we remain unaware of the conditions the animals endure before being processed for human consumption, nothing will change. Without people educating themselves about the possible dangers of infection and disease, we will continue to endanger ourselves and future generations.

As this film states at the end of the production, consumers vote for the way food will be produced - three times a day. We as consumers have a responsibility to ourselves to remain informed about the food we eat. If we sit back and passively accept the food in the condition it is presented to us, there will be no changes made to the process.

Qualley is an educator who firmly believes in allowing students to create and work collaboratively with other students to produce a better piece of work. She makes the distinction between reflexive and reflective thoughts. This distinction helps people to understand how to process new pieces of information and learn understand new ideas.
