1. What are your initial thoughts on this documentary?
After Watching the documentary Food Inc, I was honestly disgusted and
hope that since this documentary is almost 16 years old that at least some
things have changed since that documentary or because of that
documentary otherwise the world really does need help but there were a
few points that stood out most to me. I think one of the most important
concerns that were brought up is the consumers not knowing the truth
behind the food, whether there is actual harm in our food or not, we still
need to know what is going into our food as it our bodies we are taking care
of since as they say we are what we eat. The harm that may actually be
inside our food can be caused by how easy it is to produce crap food now
days. Making mass produced food is a lot easier than it has been in the past
because genetics have changed animals into growing faster and fatter. This
causes harm to the environment by creating factories for these foods to be
made, which causes pollution by emitting many CO2 gasses. However this
isn’t a concern for the producer. The producer is mainly focused on money
they receive even if it causes harm to the environment or the consumers
which is crazy to think considering they are one of the consumers as well
that are consuming these products too so that raises the question on what
do they do, like do they consume this stuff knowing all this or? The use of
pesticides and other substances are used in foods, whether it’s in the
production of corn growing or in the food in general to help keep germs out.
This also causes harm to the consumer and environment that we should be
aware of considering we are already in the mist of global warming crisis
whether you believe in that or not.
