Temple Grandin Review

Not long ago I watched a movie about one of the most famous people in the world: Temple Grandin. She is a woman who revolutionized and improved feedlots and slaughterhouses, making them more humane for animals. The reason why I love her work is not only we share our love for animals (even though i'm mostly a wildlife person) but also we both have autism! We have so much in common! She couldn't speak a single world until she was 4 years old, for me it took me 18 months(the average it at 8, 9 or 10 months.) So we were both delayed. And by the time I could speak my pattern as irregular. We both think in pictures, use things to calm us down and can be easily provoked and are sensitive to noise and large amounts of people. It also tells her she overcame so many barriers and changed how people look on autism.  Before I discovered her I had a fear of factory farming. I watched a video called The Meatrix (a cross between The Matrix and Food Inc.) It showed the unbelievable horrors of factory farms, e.g. using steroids in meat, antibiotics, hormones, cramped conditions, chemicals, feeding calves blood, pollution, Drugs etc! For a guy who is really into meat it was a big shock! I felt like I was digging my own grave! (Yet it did not stop me from eating meat and milk products.) Until I found out about Grandin and her work. Anyway, was 2 hours of, relief, suspense, uneasiness and a bit of tears (for my siblings.) Despite all of that, I give 5 out of 5 stars and a two thumbs up. Did you know after we watched it, it made my sister want to go vegetarian? And it still doesn't stop me from eating meat.
