The film objectively records how food from various places is produced, picked, processed, transported and sold. But usually our attention is only on the pretty packaging on the shelves of the market, such as the year-round supply of clean fruits and vegetables. Today, our world is full of artificial looks and tastes, and pricing strategies, origins, and industrialization provide us with many illusions of safety.
Therefore, the "Food Company" released at this time has more special meaning to us. When you see how food is produced like this, you may change the way you used to source food, and you may even change the type of food you eat.
In fact, the material contained in this film has been used many times in other similar works, such as (1) genetically modified food seeds (2) problems caused by poor livestock breeding conditions. For example, the very deadly E. coli caused the tragic death of a child. This particular case deserves a mention because he is a systemic and pervasive problem. Death is undoubtedly a tragedy, and it will have serious social consequences.
The film points out that food regulation issues still exist. At the same time, it is not news that the individual is being corrected by a food group and the individual lost the lawsuit due to lack of funds. This is a capitalist system issue: more money, better lawyers equals an almost certain victory. And a multitude of uncontrolled monopoly capitalist manufacturers, who will strive to control and suppress any phenomenon of competition. And it's not just limited to food. The only way we can, as consumers, is to eat bananas, and only bananas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, because of voting habits.
In any case, this is an unmissable documentary. The director's courage is commendable.
