What people are saying

diseases by eating rats

I have yet to learn details about the exact feed given to pigs (the host hinted at one point that there is a chance pigs can transfer diseases by eating rats).

blatant false meat-industry propaganda.i

I also would have liked to see more emphasis on the living conditions of these animals where they spend most of their life.This lecture has not changed my mind, but it has taught me a lot, which is most valuable.I recommend this course as there is so much I did not know about this industry, even though I considered myself knowledgeable prior.-------------Update:Go watch the videos of week 6 and tell me how this is not blatant false meat-industry propaganda.I do not recommend this course anymore, and I do not think Coursera should be allowed to host such false information that is harmful to the public.

considered myself knowledgeable prior.

expecting propaganda like material

I entered this course being very skeptical, I was expecting propaganda like material.

show an animal chocking

Some information is left out like where only a video is shown of electrical stunning but not CO2 stunning (which would show an animal chocking for 15-30 seconds, depending on the breed) or halal slaughtering.

changed my mind

exact feed given

make better decisions

Otherwise this is a GREAT course because it is very informative, well presented and you could make better decisions on your choice of meat consumption after the course.

our tables everyday

Excellent course for everyone, educates vastly on the value chain of the meat we see at our tables everyday.

I learned a lot with it and will definitely use this knowlegde in the future.
