Food inc. told an amazing story of the food industry and showed the public some things that nobody ever saw before about the food industry. The food industry is so illusive to the public and never wants to show anybody what their really doing and that’s why Food Inc. is so different and a one of a kind movie. The footage they show of the chicken houses especially and the chicken pickup shows how the food industries treat the food you eat. The soy beans that Monsanto made make a huge problem for people that have regular soy beans. Since Monsanto has the power to sue anybody that has traces of Monsanto soy beans they control the entire soy bean industry. Humans have destroyed the natural ways of farming when they farm on industrial scales. Animals that are grown on industrial scales are bigger and fatter but they can only walk for a couple seconds because they are so large that their bones can’t keep up with the rapid growth of the fat. Even though natural farming is much better than industrial farming and healthier than industrial farming, the only thing people want is faster, bigger, and cheaper. Even though we would have healthier food it’s just not fast enough to keep up with the fast food demand. This appears most obvious with cows and the beef industry. Beef is the most mass produced meat just because of the fast food industry. Cows are fed corn because there is so much even though cows are not made to eat corn. This is followed by Tyson making holes in the cows because they can’t digest the skin of the corn so they have to stick plastic tubes into the cows’ stomachs so they can pull out all the non-digestible food. Food Inc. was a really great movie and I think is a movie that had to be made to inform the public about all this. Even though they were not able to interview any companies they still showed a lot of footage of how everything is run and how everything is done. So, overall this was really fun to watch and a great movie that I think everybody needs to watch.
