every type of food you can think of. However, what the grocery stores do not want you to know is the process that food went through to be nicely packaged and ready for you to consume. It makes perfect sense why they would not want us to question such a thing. Why? Because food industries are hiding from us the immoral and vulgar ways they supply us with the food that we eat everyday. http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/episodes/food-inc Directed by Emmy winner Robert Kenner, Food, Inc. is a documentary

Food Inc. was undoubtedly the most effective to convince me to change all my habits that involve food. Food Inc. displayed images and footage of how the mass food production industry really is. This industry is absolutely disgusting and disturbing. Massive herds of cattle born in a factory just to be fattened and slaughtered. The film showed how the big meat and other kinds of everyday food industries bully farmers into doing whatever the corporations want. The film reveals the corruptive and elusive

After watching Food Inc., a lot of things made more sense to me. It was sick, very disturbing and disappointing to see the corruption of big corporations. It is truly frightening to know that our food system has not only gotten to such an extreme point, but that we did it.

Fast food plays a crucial part in youth society. It’s addicting to some. May even result in death for others. The fast food industries rely on children as their main customer. Make an entertaining, colorful commercial with an amusing, crazy creature that sometimes makes funny noises and you have kids hooked, along with their parent’s money. While reading Chew On This and watching Food Inc., I had a strange thought; there has to be some way I could change this. I want to inspire and influence kids

Food, Inc. is a documentary film that explains how food production is occurring today. That film shows how these practices are unsustainable and unhealthy to consumers. The whole process of production contributes to an ever growing obese America. This documentary advocates for the change of food production in order to keep America from becoming too unhealthy. This documentary has changed my view a lot of factory farmed food. I look at food differently now, and that was eyes opening for me. Factory

The movie makes some really good points. The best point is that subsidized corn artificially lowers the cost of animal feed and high-fructose corn syrup. This creates a tax-subsidized economic incentive for people to choose fast food over nutritious options. Scrapping farm subsidies including corn would be a great idea (that the movie doesn't propose).
