Alyssa Milano On Food Safety: Take Part 2

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Videos.

So we gave you John Salley’s PSA from the Takepart.com series where celebrities discuss the food safety issues featured in Robert Kenner’s Food Inc.

Take Part 2.

Vegetarian Alyssa Milano also has a clip where she urges consumers to practice food safety measures and “feed their minds” by becoming educated on food borne illnesses.

Of course, it’s hard to “know your food,” when it comes from dozens of different sources, starting with the animal.

“One hamburger contains meat from 50-100 cattle,” says Alyssa.

Fifty to 100 cattle? Yeah, pretty hard to learn and remember all their names. Safer to just eat a veggie burger.

Several celebrities have recorded PSAs that deal with issues discussed in Food Inc., a movie where filmmaker Robert Kenner exposes the truths about our nation’s food supply, from the pitfalls of factory farming to safety of workers harvesting food in the fields.

NBA legend John Salley has recorded a clip titled “Animals As Food”, where he discusses the unpleasant realities of factory farmed meat.

“Believe it or not, most supermarket food does not grow on that pretty little farm you see on the package,” John says, as he makes a pitch for vegetarianism, citing the pollution caused from livestock gases.
