Food, Inc.

Food, Inc. is a 2008 American documentary by filmmaker Robert Kenner. The film examines corporate farming in the United States. The film concludes that agribusiness produces food that is unhealthy for consumption in a way that is abusive to the animals and environmentally harmful.

1. Examines the industrial production of meat (chicken, beef, and pork)calling it inhumane and economically unsustainable.
2. Looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables and labeling it economically and environmentally unsustainable, again.
3. The economic and legal power.

Select two "wow" moments to respond to. 

What struck you, horrified you, or caused you to think?

What did you agree with or disagree with?

1. Modern Farming
• Not what is used to be.
• Big business has taken over the food supply and the quality of food that we consume has suffered because of this takeover. 
• Nearly every thing that we consume is jam packed with chemicals.
• It is no longer about the quality of the product, but how fast we can get it on, and off, the shelves in order to make profit.
• Farmers are struggling with their business and getting little to no benefit from big business sticking their foot in the door. 
• Overpowering, underpaying, and burying of local farmers.
2. Mistreatment of Animals
• Disturbing imagery of cattle, pig, and poultry.
• Had to look away at a few moments because of the cruelty.
• This film, however, is as much about the mistreatment of animals as it is the mistreatment of humans and a disregard for social consciousness. 

I think it is noteworthy that none of the corporations mentioned in the film were available for comment after the film was released.
