My take on the Chipotle Video.

The Scarecrow Commercial

Last week in my Argument and Debate class, my teacher showed us this commercial in the link above made by Chipotle. After just a few seconds of viewing it, I knew I was never going to eat at Chipotle ever again. The way they portray production agriculture is heart breaking and very disturbing. Although I was taken aback by this  commercial, I was glad my teacher showed it because I got to explain to the class why I was hurt and angry. I got to tell those twenty students that I am apart of the hard working farmers who take great care of their animals to produce the most nutritious product possible to feed the world. I really emphasized the feeding the world part, due to the fact that without modern agriculture practices, there would not be enough food for us to eat. I just wish that everyone could tour a farm and see with their own eyes what actually happens and that we have nothing to hide.
