Warning: Strong language in the video. At exactly 10:00 minutes turn off the sound to avoid the F-Bomb. Unfortunately, focusing on the message is hard since the messengers are so arrogant and emotionally charge the argument. If you are emotional about this topic then don't watch it.

Awesome arguments. I don't always agree w/ Penn and Teller (contradictions between episodes and don't they have an anti-Mormon episode?) but I liked the arguments they had in this video.
Essentially, after watching Food Inc, I came away with the thought, are we using food the way Heavenly Father intended us to use it? I think there's a balance between improving vs. abuse.
For example, improving technology enables us to communicate faster (think internet vs telegraph), why can't we do the same thing with food?
That being said, I'm pretty sure The Creator isn't going to be thrilled how we treat his animal– without gratitude, appreciation or are wasteful. Which isn't to blame the consumer since we don't have a lot of control, but corporations perhaps are monetarily motivated without a balance of appreciation for how the money was made or the product (the animals) that were sold.
By all means, make money. Make as much of it as you can. But as faithful Latter-Day Saints, do we have the insight from an eternal perspective on HOW we're making our money and is it something we can stand behind?
Any thoughts?
Good comment. I always love your insights. I think that I want to post something about this tonight.
