imagine a world where the food you eat was secretly replaced with a back to
create an artificial replica that looks smelled and tasted just like the
original sometimes even better
but most of the state food including the meat who's made only one or two plant
based materials in a gang of where you're chemicals mediate another that it
was slowly killing her a range of terrible diseases well guess what
america you currently live in such a bizarre world the nearly complete
industrialization in corporate is asian of are consistent is one of america's
darkest deadliest investech secrets ni importantly documentary food inc seeks
to expose it by asking questions you can clearly have the answers
howitzer food made
who's making it and what the hell of a putting it
food inc is mostly narrated by two of the food movement's most prominent
voices
the verses eric's losses author of the best selling two thousand one book fast
food nation which expose the myriad crimes the fast-food industry commits on
a daily basis against humans animals in the environment the others michael
pollan author of the best selling two thousand six booking on abortion one
which traces the brilliance of four different meals to their sources has
become the modern foodie local more bible fascination and young aboard a
limited a lot to change how we view food in america and in many ways food inc is
the movie version of those two books the film examines the industrialization of
food starting when the mcdonald brothers who started the mcdonalds franchise
realize they can increase profits by bring the factories and we want to the
food business with us increase efficiency uniformity in reliance on
cheap unskilled labor magellan factory restaurant like mcdonald's because one
of america's biggest buyers of meat and produce everything else is turning into
a factory to meet those needs including america's farms ranches and
slaughterhouses livestock no longer roman pack on a bill farms that are
crammed shoulder to shoulder horrific factor discovered in their own crap
while being stuffed with corn antibiotics after that police into one
of only a handful of meat processors that handles practically all of
america's need
increasing the chances of contamination by both like equal and salmonella
food inc attempts to address virtually every aspect of modern food systems
including the need for tougher food safety regulations the treatment of
workers and food processing plants the pros and cons of large companies
entering the organics market corporations padding the d_n_a_
genetically modified crops effects of the festive died on the poor and a lot
more
unfortunately this means that several topics on the nearly as much attention
as they deserve
with a compact running time just ninety three million splitting sometimes
doesn't give you as much information on a topic if you want while giving you so
much information on so many topics at the community can always then again the
target audience for feeding seems to be people who know a little or nothing
about the modern food industry so that those chapters are more meant to be
introductions not in-depth analysis
so what we do about the awful state of american food
like an inconvenient truth foodie ends with a list of helpful suggestions like
shopping at farmers markets only buying pretty second season reading labels
cooking more buying organic and reminding us that we can effectively
book for the food system we want with every bite we eat
well those are important steps going to take a helluva lot more than that
we're dealing with the most powerful food industry in world history from by a
handful of giant corporations who not only by our politicians in bunches
embedded themselves so deeply within our government that they can easily change
ignore overturn any law that threatens their profits
we need is a government that puts leaders in their health first not as an
afterthought many voting in elections not at the dinner table
but before you solve a problem you need to know how that that problem is
including certainly will be of any illusions about that
i'm jonathan kim missus everything purview
alright just you know that's really interesting
and will first thing i don't always wonder about his found
the subsidies
how much is that really affect what's going on and how many helped them
what is the reader which we have subsidies for certain food
blood between nineteen ninety five eighty thousand six parts of the first
fifty six point two billion
and that's that's twice the amount spent on week three times the amount spent on
so evenings and seventy times the amount back and
what what this does is it
makes it so food processors can bite coronet base people will cost
because that their you know the farmer grows the corn and it's below it it's
worth below market the government he's addressed
and so they just give them the later the farmer and that allowed but corn is
still at this very well so what's so wrong with kore
like okay so we go through the south israeli sense
but uh... wise corvette
because it if we're getting in and everything you can't make i produce corn
syrup and that just becomes a cheaper way to make
processed foods
then that's what the fruit prices are going to make whatever's cheaper cost
corn syrup used to be more expensive than sugar
but because of the subsidies
reserved its naturally personnel sweats getting everything and that's what's
getting us arafat and diabetes poker and so and that's what's bad for us as a
high fructose corn syrup that sort of work
now there's some other things we should avoid like minored
stuff okay
that tell me about what they're doing with the manure from someone from form
what that yes they did some enormous amount of newer consistent i will own
hot factories and farms produce more than fifteen million tons
but to prove
and it cause a huge amount of actually more pollution than any other source
p_p_h_ said the runoff from factory first with there are ways more than all
other industrial sources combined
now but the thing is blow for several funny thing yet that i am you know
there's laws against dumping a lot of this man your into into waterways source
of the with
meet meetings he gets will go away with this is
they just straight into the air
alcoa
where they spread this trade a minority
at his side that's not the place i want to hang out so i'd highly it just makes
these free-floating clouds of miss of on this i mean if you if you've ever done
anywhere near site high density of people alive
like our highway five there's one between l_a_ san francisco and you start
for months
mhm and i'm not sure if it's because the spring improve in the air but whatever
it is it's off
i've got to love the way to get around standard so i can camp were more likely
noonan's opened one in there
this one where i can
now up but we're also still managed i mean because seriously like
we need to eat
you know the braves and the uh...
catalyst centers that are so
how do we have
is there a way of avoiding these enormous farms as for the poor the ecm
reporting
onesies is that
the reason why these things are said why the food is cheap especially me is that
this is since i was a bit is assuming that pollution is free
you know so if they are paying for the environmental cleanups of the the food
is in actually christ honestly
and that's the problem is that we we were in the system where our food is
cheaper than it should be you know there's no reason why me michael vases
louise might double cheeseburger
should be cheaper than it had a broccoli
it doesn't make any sense
but i think i mean the thing that i thinking about more is that it's
changing priorities we just need to realize that it's important to be
healthy it's important to cook
and i mean
the matthew cook is actually directly related to how funny the more you cook
the less fat you're going to be
and
so i think there needs to be sort of a at the changing priorities work looking
more and heating more healthy food has to be an important thing we need to take
the time an effort to do it
and you know i've heard people say they are both elitist to say that people
should be buying organic that people should be cooking more by more wrestles
but
it's more leads to say well you know what
poor people just get sick and patton dot
that's it that's their only option right i hear you on that now look i know
there's a lot of our analysis here too
but again i wonder even if we clothes that's all
what were the greenhouse gases you and
and as a solvent
i think that
this there's a lot of steps music and sound like saying everyone used by all
organic tomorrow you know it's like start off with just more triples and
fruit you notice start off with that in the needy some of
see you know i haven't had in the organic you know it
like a carton of organic aids may be cost like barker buck fifty more than a
regular carton
it's not going to kill you especially when you're willing to spend two books
on a large soda
or got video to a movie theater and bhaiya nine bucks talent of popcorn
right
what if i buy the organic eggs was actually this the one thing i do right
uh... how does that help so much
it helps because it's actually if it
represents a healthier more sustainable way to actually have food in america
uh... you know where
the no word these the chickens are going to be point four antibiotics all the
time and not going to be signin
cages not be able to move
being pooped on by chicken in a cage above it and things like that is bay and
that it's more like a voting with your consumer dollar kind of thing but i
think it's also it's healthier for the animals and healthier for the
environment and it's important to say that we sat you support there are no
less worry about it being healthy for me funny enough i just feel bad projects i
mean i really don't know if i try to buy the
figures i admit it's a silly
but that's what gets me right
now unloading stuff the you know they're argos
through farmers market and oberg arrest spread the fifth cetera
what their corn fed beef that most of us the
you know it's because cornice g gadi at our more hormones
and a more months ago there was some sort of on told them to redefine alley
that's part of it and also i mean
uh... livestock graze on clerk house race on corn and soy are has more fat in
the to me was actually factor so it is not more delicious
that morning
i would say no
i mean i i like the taste of grass fed beef it has a morning and u_n_ it's sort
of richer unique sort of you eat less of it and feel more satisfied in my opinion
by and finally we have the liberation issue
so how does this related richard
well i'm particularly i mean obviously informing and also in the meat packing
industry it's primarily mexicans these days and
it used to be that the that working in the meatpacking industry was like
agreed you nice job it was like were it was like working for like the auto
industry when that jesus to be good but like workers used to make about twenty
bucks an hour now think about nine bucks an hour and the work has got it
it's more dangerous now than it's ever been
and basically it's a race to the bottom where they're they're bringing in all
all these illegal embers often advertising in mexico
saying come up for these jobs
and
and fuel because a lot of them are legal they're not you know they're not going
to complain if conditions are bad
and also what happens is basically the the companies get away with hiring these
people but there's rates where the people get into the you know the workers
get in trouble
but the corporations don't intervened to doesn't set the stage two thousand six
swift meat packers
they there's a huge raid
down where i think it was a few thousand people got picked up
and but none of the of of the top level of texts dot mail and industry could not
function without a legal immigration at the bottom line tallest job what i'm
doing it
he don't plant you walked by the
out of you want to have a lot of people one but i still wonder how they do these
minor salmon right it seems unbelievable what we've never nitin and they're
making a product very profitable for them to it's not just of volume it's
davey really really make a lot of us right it is
this in a sensory but here's how they do it they do it through the subsidies
they do it through acting all the fifteen other cattlemen citizens related
to by four little area
they do it would be illegal immigrant
workers that they're paying a lot less
et cetera send out a wicked things the right way
you would have been a in a sense
value menu you might have a dollar value has sent value menu
but with all the little healthier
ray and environmental etcetera etcetera and more american jobs
so
but the thing is i don't know how we change it because that no
all industries built on that
that that's the big thing i mean like this has been decades in the making and
i mean the likewise interview about food inc is that
it deals with a lot of topics kinda fast but
if you want to get a sense of how messed up our phone system is it's a great
movie to watch because
it touches everything like the you know the environment your personal health
health care the government you know like anywhere you go like like food can be
linked into all these right i've got a suggestions i like to reconstruct
someone
maybe one of you out
should start at fast food companies
that actually uses all healthy organic et cetera food now
it might cost that you know a little bit more for burger or tuna sandwich or
whatever it might be
but i don't want people go to work
and i bet they said they're willing to pay to what the sort of a buck
for some of the stuff
and uh... you might actually the funny thing is to make a lot of money
but which is trying to help you're on the interest
that's all we're doing today
we're looking for win-win for capitalist but we want to do in this one sensible
again there's one thing that i was really stemmed from an environmental
defense edit every american skipped one meal a chicken per week insisted victory
he said
the carbon dioxide savings would be the same seeking more than
half million cars off the road
it's a single meal
but the thing about it
for clunkers
okay put some thought behind
