Food Inc.

In the movie that we saw in class I think this movie opened up our eyes a little more on what we eat. In the movie it showed how the things we eat gets from one destination to another. Many people dont really seem to be aware of what they eat because usually we think what were eating is safe and secure I guess. The food administrators should really be aware of what we as people consume. It’s sad how people die from food poisoning with the lack of unsecure foods. The movie relates to real life because every day we buy things whether it’s from a grocery store or at a fast food place like Mc Donald’s, burger king, or even Wendy’s. Mc Donald’s is the largest purchase of ground beef the company should be more aware of what they’re selling to their customers and make a little more effort to have healthier meals on the menu. The way the animals were treated was crazy, the cows being slaughtered was an awful site to see. Many of the chickens get over produced in the way of their growth form so they can hatch faster and put out to get shipped out. I think I have a better understanding of how the food processing works and to be honest its weird in a way but I think what matters most is how you eat and what you eat. Eating healthier will always be a good choice no matter how much it cost you. I usually try not to have a lot of those fast food meals so now I tend to find myself moving closer to the healthier choices in what I eat. Eating better is not only healthy but it’s a better choice of being able to live better.

  1. I agree with you- it is horrible that such a basic part of life has been made into a dangerous corporate power that could easily hurt or kill us. The lack of standards regarding the food industry is disgusting and many people need to see how the food we eat really is a life or death situation. Fast food is indeed dangerous food, and many consumers do not see how severe and unfair this system really is.

  2. Vicky,


    You make a lot of interesting points here, but these very wise words stand out to me:

    "Eating healthier will always be a good choice no matter how much it cost you."
