Year 2008:
1. The dazzling array of Supermarket shelves is actually an illusion, and most of them are corn (in the United States);
2. Monsanto's monopoly on genetically modified seeds has led to a team of nearly 100 people investigating and prosecuting. It's really a bit like Microsoft. There was a time when companies of a certain size received Microsoft's request to buy a license.
3. Industrial production will inevitably enter the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and food processing industries.
4. Lobbyist may be peculiar to the US, but mobility between corporate jobs and regulators is common - the industry is so big.
5. The counter argument for GMO labeling is that fear of causing unnecessary worry sounds plausible - typical paradox. The logo represents the right to know. Whether it needs to be marked separately depends on the judgment criteria, and what businesses want consumers to know is different from what consumers want to know. "Identification = may be harmful" or "Identification = new technology is used but we don't know its impact, but it's OK so far", the judgment can be left to consumers themselves.
6. If consumers have requirements for food health and safety, w-mart will adjust, and farmers will be able to produce them. Also based on this mechanism, there is a series of appeals in green at the end of the film. Then a series of marketing responses developed in response to the demand can be seen in "superize me 2: holy chicken" .
2021:
1. In this documentary in 2009, the growth cycle of broilers was still 48 days, and in 2017, it has been shortened to 6 weeks - the food industry has been improving.
2. GMOs were once a hot topic in society. GMO/trans fatty acid labelling is a reality. According to the national standard, the use of trans fatty acids but the content is low (≤0.3g/100g) can also be marked as 0.
3. Here are the news for July 2021 -
Tyson recalls 3.85 million kilograms of chicken: 3 people are suspected of bacterial infection and 1 death for June 9. Between April 6 and June 5, one person died from listeriosis. An investigation by the Department of Agriculture and the CDC determined that the bacteria responsible for the disease may have come from Tyson's chicken products. In addition, at least two people were hospitalized with Listeria infection. Listeria infection can cause symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, neck stiffness, loss of balance, confusion, and convulsions.
Tyson said it issued a recall notice due to possible exposure to the harmful bacteria Listeria. According to the USDA, the recalled frozen products were produced between December 2020 and April 2021. The food has been distributed across the United States. The Department of Agriculture advises consumers not to eat these products and that they should be thrown away or returned.
