Also, we need to learn to make excuses and give benefit of doubts to our bro/sis. To have husn ul Dhan for ur bro/sis in Islam is part of our Imaan. We seriously need to train ourselves for this and not start policing or interrogating on 1st opportunity. Subhanallah!

But you know husband and wife can’t agree on everything.

Or now bc we’re fat or have diabetes we use fake sugar? Bleh!

By fake sugar, do you mean like Splenda which some people four packets into at for coffee at places like Dunkin Donuts as a sugar substitute?

The other half of the problem, and the factor in obesity and diabetes, is what you’re eating, whether its organic or not. And don’t even get me started on all this high-glycemic stuff they market just to kids.

Here’s our family mantra: if you can’t tell how it got from its original state to your table in 3 steps or less, don’t eat it! I think it’s okay everyone once in a while to have a treat that may not passt he test, but I think keeping these things in your home is asking for trouble (this eliminates most cereals, chips, cookies, “snacks”). Also, we need to wean ourselves away from all this sugar. Even when people make something clean like oatmeal, how many of us put 2 tsps of sugar in it? Or now bc we’re fat or have diabetes we use fake sugar? Bleh!

This is something we can control, and buy just focusing on meat, fruits, veggies, and basic dairy, we can also have more control of what we’re eating and where its coming from (the first problem that I mentioned.)

How she saw it is between Allah and herself.

Sister Amatullah, you need’nt defend yourself, you are good sister we don’t pass judgment, and we assume only the best of you. I wish you didnt even explain yourself. May Allah guide us all…amin.

I saw it at an very small and independent theater, not one of the big type ones. Alhamdulillah there were no bad posters, and it was not a bad environment.

The intention behind watching the film was not entertainment but rather education. Many of us have sought an education here, how many science videos or health videos have we seen in school? My friends and I did not watch this film so that we can listen to music or waste our time…We wanted to understand the food industry in this country and alhamdulillah as a result, we have become more conscious of what we feed ourselves and our families and it has brought us closer to Allah azza wa jal through appreciating His laws and regulations.

Please understand that I would never encourage any Muslim to see a film, unless it was an educational one and had absolutely no lewdness or haraam behavior.

I stand by my statement that this movie was highly beneficial.

May Allah guide us to what pleases Him, Ameen.

Do we have any assurance from our local halal butchers that the meat and poultry that we purchase from them is not subjected to the same inhumane treatment of the animal products of conventional agriculture? I’ve asked a few butchers this myself and I was met with the same thing over and over again. Basically, I need to stop coming around their place of business with my troublesome questions. I’ve seen that the butchers in my locale don’t even want to think about where the animals come from before they’re slaughtered. Any insights?

I loved Polyface farm in the movie, I cannot remember the farmer’s name but I thought he was pretty cool :)
