Food Inc.

 

 

Food Inc. is a movie released in 2008 that shows the audience a graphic look on the food industry.

 

 

As I said its very graphic. It has a more to the point message and this message is by no means sugar coated. The facts about hormones in chickens was very interesting and it crazy to think how big they actually get with the injections. The unfortunate part is they get so big that they struggle to walk some cant it was very difficult to watch.

 

Another scene that was very graphic was the animal cruelty with the fork lift and the cow it was very sad and gross. I don't know how industrial farmers like Carole Morison act so nonchalant.

 

I also found the use of corn interesting its crazy the uses they've come up with. Its now almost in every food product under the name high fructose corn syrup.

 

 

Overall Food Inc. is a good film if you the viewer want to really see the worst of industrial farmer. I encourage anyone with a strong stomach to watch this and maybe it will change your outlook on food and your diet for the better.
