1. The power of a family cannot compete with the power of an industry that spends $1.2 billion to promote products. Talk to them now, maintain good relationships with them when they are young, and wait for them to grow up. , They become your consumers. I don’t know if this is ethical. Our job is to sell products.

2. The principle of excess. Instill the concept of need and let them focus on unnecessary consumption, such as fashion consumption.

3. Hidden behind "legal persons", companies can exploit unethically and ignore the law, as long as the cost of fines is lower than the cost of compliance.

4. Enterprises are the predators.

5. You may say that I am a leader in industry and a hero of the times, but in fact, the first industrial revolution was problematic. It did not work well and could not be sustained. It was a mistake. We must carry out another better industrial revolution, this time, do it right.

The Corporation quotes

  • Narrator: In a world economy where information is filtered by global media corporations, keenly attuned to their powerful advertisers, who will defend the public's right to know? And what price must be paid to preserve our ability to make informed choices?

  • Steve Wilson: One of the first stories that Jane came up with was the revelation that most of the milk in the state of Florida and throughout most of the country was adulterated with the effects of bovine growth hormone.

    Jane Akre: With Monsanto, I didn't realise how effectively a corporation could work to get something on the marketplace. The levels of coordination they had to have. They had to get university professors into the fold. They had to get experts into the fold. They had to get reporters into the fold. They had to get the public into the fold and of course the FDA, let's not leave them out. They had to get the federal regulators convinced that this was a fine and safe product to get it onto the marketplace. And they did that, they did that very, very well. The federal government basically rubber stamped it before they put it on the marketplace. The longest test they did for human toxicity was 90 days on 30 rats. And then either Monsanto misreported the results to the FDA, or the FDA didn't bother to look in depth at Monsanto's own studies.

    Steve Wilson: The scientists within Health Canada looked very carefully at bovine growth hormone and come to very different conclusions than the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. did.
