The Omnivore's Dilemma

There were a lot of details that caught my eye in this reading.  This reading was very similar to the Stuff Video we watched in class. As consumers it showed us the full picture of what was going on, instead of what we thought was going on. I didn't know that corn could be so expensive, and that a lot of people/animals can suffer from the consequences of corn-fed cows. As I read the article I was confused as to why the author could see the harm his steer were causing, and not remove his steer from that facility. I think this article does present people with quite a dilemma, but like the ending of the article I feel like most people will go back to eating corn-fed cows, including myself.
