Food, Inc. is a documentary directed by Robert Kenner. Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan are filmmakers that have also done their own films about the American food indusrty. It is an eye – opening film about the ongoing issues in the American food industry. When I watched this film I was awe the entire time. It covers multiple topics about the food that we eat every day, unless you’re a vegetarian. The film shows the disturbing reality of how chickens, cows, and pigs are kept, fed, and how they are killed and prepared for consumption.
The film Food Inc. is an example of American’s food gathering strategies. Countries all over the world have different food gathering strategies and America’s has one of the more industrial agriculture systems. An industrial agriculture system is a way to produce mass quantities of food by using machinery. I learned a lot from this movie. For example, I knew that free range eggs were healthier to eat that those kept caged but, I had no idea the conditions of which the caged chickens were being kept in. The caged chickens were kept in large, dark, and cramped sheds. Some of the chickens died and those that stayed alive were snatched up in the night by food company employees.
I highly recommend this film to everyone because it is very educational and it sheds light on the secrets of how the food, that many of eat, is prepared for the public.
