Movie Food Inc.

We watched a movie in class which is Food Inc. It's a great movie to let everyone know about the type of food they actually are eating, whether its healthy or not. In the movie we were basically shown that farmers aren't giving us exactly healthy food. They have techniques that they are following so they can earn much more than they usually do. The cows don't eat grass but they eat corn because corn is cheap they have such a mass production of them that its being used in everything. Corn is also a major thing because its in everything we eat or drink, it just has a weird name rather than corn. Farmers now a days are given no respect to do or say what they wish or enjoyed doing at a point in their life. Now they are working basically as machines and doing exactly what the big companies want them do. Farmers have no word to this because if they dare to say anything they are put down. Farmers have taken out so many loans that they can't afford to put anything in jeopardy. No farmers actually wanted to show what it exactly goes on in their farms. The first fast food was McDonald's and its was extremely successful. They had trained workers who did everything int he same way everyday. Companies have changed the way chickens are grown, they have made the chickens them bigger than they are so they can produce a lot of white meat. The chickens weigh so much to a point that they can even walk anymore, they take a few steps "blop" they are down. The sad part of the movie was Barbara's son Kevin died. He was so young, he had been contaminated by E.Coli due to the unhealthy farming system. The E.Coli came from the plants/grass that's being feed to the cows; the cows are later being used in hamburgers which is being to fed to people all over the country. The part which i was found was really amazing was about the family who ate from burger king everyday because they didn't have time to cook and kind of couldn't afford to buy things to cook at home. They thought it was better to buy fast food everyday and feed their 2 kids rather than going to the supermarket and buying food that somewhat may be organic. The nice part was Joseph who is a 65 year old man looks like hes probably in his early 40's still farms the organic way to provide his customers with real stuff. He believes that everything and everyone has the right to deserve respect which absolutely true. He still has grass for his cows to eat from, fresh air to breath, and his chickens are still slaughtered in the fresh air which is supposedly "bad". Overall I think the movie is great because it teaches you a lot about the way farmers are being treated and the wrong stuff you being feed by buying fast food. Think smart, make a choice and eat healthy.
