Food Inc. was a really good movie. I thought it would be kind of slow going and lame, but it definitely kept my interest all the way to the very end. I was already being extra cautious with the meat I by in the store but now I feel as if the grocery store cannot be trusted. I had a general idea of how bad the meat industry was but I did not think it was as bad as it is. I was completely blown away when they said that since the 1950s the number of slaughter houses went from over a thousand to just 13 currently. 13 what the heck!!!! Eventually what little choices there are in the store will all be gone if we as consumers do not make a conscious effort to change the food industry. Also I was very upset about the soy bean company who now dominates 90 percent of the market and then those greedy no good fools put that poor old man out of business. I would really like to see more farms like the one who did everything the way God intended. And then the USDA had the nerve to try an tell him he was unsanitary. Yes meat out of a factory is so much better. Just for the record factory and food should not be near each other in a sentences. I would like my food to come from the place that it is grown. Overall Food Inc was a great movie and does a very superb job of informing the people and lifting the veil on our food industry here in America.
I've seen this. It's funny because our first impressions were the same and it actually was interesting!!
ReplyDeleteI watched Food Inc. as well and it was very shocking. The part that scared me the most was that the number of USDA inspections had decreased dramatically since the 1970's. That, and like you said Aaron, the number of slaughterhouses have decreased too. It's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wonder if this is an a uniquely American problem. I have header that the European approach to food is different.
ReplyDeleteWow just 13 slaughter houses. Thats insane.
