"Food Inc" Movie Review
After watching Food Inc. I realized that the majority of consumers have no idea where their food comes from, or how its produced and processed. I was shocked to find out that there are only 4 companies that control most of the food industry. What shocked me the most was when they said that 70% of processed foods contain a genetically modified ingredient. Most of our vegetables and fruits come from genetically engineered seeds that are planted in chemical fertilizer fields. This movie impacted me by answering a question we should all ask ourselves before we have a meal. Where did this food come from? Now that I know, I'm making it a goal to shop smarter and more organically. I would definitely recommend this movie to a friend because people should know where their food comes from and how it is produced. I would inform my friend about the genetic modifications done to plants and animals that may harm us in the future. I would also mention the unfair treatment of farmers and workers by food corporations.

I feel the same way. I also did not know that only 4 companies control most of our foods. to me this is crazy.
ReplyDeleteIts crazy to think they're able to genetically modify seeds in order to grow more bigger and "better" fruits and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteI was also shocked on some of the similar topics you chose. Its good that you pointed out the treatment of the workers because I feel that is overlooked most of the time.
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty disturbing and shocking to see how the animals and workers were treating. Cant believe that stuff actually goes on.
ReplyDeleteI agree, It's shocking to know were not really eating food really anymore. I feel like we consume chemicals instead. It's insane.
