Food Inc Response

The food we eat looks good when we are eating it but there is corruption behind it. Food inc. focuses on the things behind closed doors, things that we don't take into much consideration. The food industry continues to gain revenue but also continues to make food worst. Food Inc is just one of the sources that want us to know that even though food looks good in front of you there is a large amount of corruption behind it that is slowly destroying our society and food.

There were many advantages Food Inc had over books such as “Fast Food Nation” and “Omnivore's Dilemma” One of them were the visual insight that the movie was able to give us. The viewers were able to deeply understand how corrupted the food industry was. The horrific images of animals begin slaughter had a bigger impact on reading; “ thousands of pigs slaughtered a day” There are still advantages that the book has that the movie doesn’t. The movie is only letting us see one point of view and is completely bias. The Book gives more direct statistics which also plays a big role on how we see the food industry. The Book helped us as readers see how our country and food industry became more and more corrupted over time.

Things that i continue to wonder about is why doesn't the food industry fix these problems that they have and make their food more healthy? People continue to come down on them such as the film “Food Inc.” and “Fast Food Nation” People will ultimately end up understanding that the things were are eating are slowly killing us and the food industry will eventually be forced to change. Another interesting question i had was ; What do the owners and the important people in these food industries eat? Do they eat the food they know they are making less healthy or do they eat healthy foods?( food they don't produce) My ultimate thought about the film is if we don't change our selves the food industry wont change. They food industry is business and if we are the consumers. If we only demanded healthy food and the majority decided not to eat their food they will find away to make their food healthy.
