effect a change

Thinking of the recent 10-year plastic restriction campaign, what we thought was convenient and quick actually created even greater sadness. Food production has industrialized, and people no longer know whether they are eating food or a substitute carefully cultivated in factories. Is this an improvement in quality of life or a more rapid decline? The behavior of these big companies is disrespectful to animals, workers and consumers. Accelerating the growth of organic tissue, depriving animals of their right to grow normally, using illegal immigration, and constantly squeezing workers to reduce costs, the meat produced in turn harms consumers. It is not difficult to reflect, what is the respect for life? The point of the film is that we have the courage to speak up and fight. "I'm sick of people's pity and I need them to listen and help me make changes," the mother who lost her child to eating a meat burger that contained a certain bacteria said at the end. I need them to listen, and help me effect a change. Another important part is about anti-genetic foods. Farmers who are unwilling to accept anti-genetic crops are under heavy pressure from multinational corporations, unable to keep their own seeds, pollen from neighbors, and soil contact for planting anti-genetic crops. A slight crossing of the border is considered to be infringement, and then they accept a piece of paper from the other party. In this case, how can the weak farmers fight? Similar cases in environmental protection seem to have been mentioned before. The environmental pollution caused by factories threatens the safety of people's lives. There are relevant laws to protect the rights of civilians who are economically disadvantaged. However, the weak are the weak after all, and legal fairness and justice can only be obtained with the help of money, and most farmers have succumbed to their desperation. Thinking about it this way, I always feel that the future is bleak. Still a tribute to those who persist in speaking up and disclosing in different fields. Subtitle excerpt at the end of the film Buy from companies that treat animals, workers and environment with respect When you go to the supermarket, choose foods that are in season, buy foods that are organic, know what's in your food. Read labels.

Food, Inc. quotes

  • [last lines]

    Troy Roush - Vice President, American Corn Growers Association: You have to understand that we farmers... we're gonna deliver to the marketplace what the marketplace demands. If you wanna buy $2 milk, you're going to get a factoryfarm in your backyard. It's that simple. People have got to start *demanding* good, wholesome food of us, and we'll deliver; I promise you. We're very ingenious people, we will deliver.

  • Michael Pollan: The idea that you would need to write a book telling people where their food came from is just a sign of how far removed we've become. It seems to me that we're entitled to know about our food: who owns it, how are they making it, can I have a look in the kitchen?
