      After reading it, my heart is heavy.

      In my impression, American agriculture is quite developed. With a vast expanse of land, advanced agricultural production technology and agricultural production machinery, and great agricultural subsidies, it can be said that the conditions are very favorable. But there are also food safety issues, which is really sad.

      It is unimaginable that almost all foods are inseparable from the raw material corn. Large tracts of land produce several...

      The thoughtful food processing process

      It tells about the industrial production and processing of a food company. In the United States, the main source of food is not farms, but factories. They are all assembled with cheap labor, doing mechanical work, running water, killing animals in large numbers, and then stacking them together. Dirty, so Escherichia coli virus is produced, feces are mixed together and sent into people's mouths, and corn is grown in large quantities, because it contains rich elements for food processing, on...

In order to become food on the table, chickens live in cramped spaces every day, and many chickens have poor walking ability. Corn, soybeans, trans fatty acids,...

      When does meat taste meaty?

      The old man would occasionally say: Now I can eat meat every day, but the meat has no meat taste, it is not as good as before. After watching this documentary, I began to understand the reason why this meat is not meaty. Everything is related to the industrial processing of food. In the United States, which pursues economic benefits, food is produced in an industrialized model. Monopoly food companies make huge profits out of it, at the expense of the public who pays a health price. If I...

    Background creation

    The filming method of the film is to express the director's views through interviews with experts such as Eric Schlaus ( the author of " Fast Food Kingdom " ) and Michael Pollan ( the author of "The Dilemma of the Omnivor " ) . There is also a dialogue with social entrepreneurs to show some forward thinking, such as Gary Hershberg of Stonyfield, a yogurt company, and Joe Saladin of Polyface Farm in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, USA....

    Movie quotes

    • Eric Schlosser: These companies have legions of attorneys. And they may sue, even if they know they can't win, just to send a message.

    • Joel Salatin: I think it's one of the most important battles for consumers to fight: the right to know what's in their food, and how it was grown.

      Narrator: The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000.
