Critical Studio: “Our Daily Bread”

 

 

This is the most memorable scene from the documentary to me. I started to blame myself.

Some of my relatives were living in the countryside of Hebei province, a province filled with farming area. I visited twice every year to my relatives’ farms to take a break with my mom when I was little. My relatives have a house with a huge “garden,” where they have chickens, pigs, cows and a donkey. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning and opened the door, I can see a “yellow garden” full of little chickens, moving around. Little chickens just like this. At that time, I was so worried that I would step on one of them when I went cross the garden. But now, I don’t even feel sad when I see this.

Eating meat means you have money in my country, so I understand why this is happening and I don’t blame people to eat meat. I also know that it is different here in America and I think it is great that at least some group of people refuse to eat animal. The reason why I blame myself is not because I eat meat but that I don’t even feel sad about eating animal bodies. I used to be a kid that afraid of hurting them.
