KFC's chicken has six wings and six legs? This documentary is mainly about the truth of the food behind the high commercialization of the food industry. There is no lack of analysis of the industrial chain of fast food chains and large supermarkets, and the answer to this question may be found.
The changes in the food eaten in the past 50 years, the food packaging conceals the source of the food, and the truth behind the food, once you understand it, you don’t want to eat it. Although it was a documentary 10 years ago, the truth and reality are still applicable today.
The food supply chain is controlled and controlled by a few multinational corporations. Food does not come from farms but from factories. Production has nothing to do with farmers and farms. Trace the food production process and give consumers the right to know the truth, represented by the McDonald's fast food chain and Tyson meat suppliers.
Even if you don't eat in fast food restaurants, the meat you eat may come from this system. The large suppliers behind fast food chains control our food chain and occupy 80% of the market share; there are more than 47,000 kinds of food in supermarkets, and the labels on the food are differentiated. But the company behind it may be one. Knowing who is producing the food and how it is produced, tracking the source of the food, will discover the same world, the same food production chain. Perhaps alarmist, but eye-opening enough.
The food industry is cruel to animals
Raise 3-month-old chickens in a shorter time and earn more profits. Although the chickens in the film do not have many legs and wings, their living environment is worrying. The journey of life is completed in two weeks, and even if they die of illness, they will be killed. Processed into meat products, the bones and chicken develop so that the chicken cannot support its own body weight and walk a few steps.
Chicken farmers become slaves to food companies, highly commercialized, intensive mass production, with a small amount of land producing a lot of cheap food
Large multinational companies are behind the support and government subsidies to promote the cultivation of corn, and 90% of the food contains corn or soybean ingredients↓
Corn is easy to store and is a versatile raw material. It can also be used as animal feed, livestock and even fish. The reduction in the price of meat has contributed to the reduction of corn and other feeds.
However, cattle originally ate grass, and because of the cheap corn feed, they were mainly fed with corn, which made the stomach ulcers of the cattle and produced mutated fungi.
Feces are used as fertilizer, E. coli can contaminate plant production, and meat can be indirectly contaminated with feces
Food Industry Leads to Lifestyle Changes
Fast food restaurant unhealthy food is cheap and tastes good, production is indiscriminate and low price satiety, high salt, high fat, high sugar habits prefer these three tastes, the food industry leads to excessive obesity.
Cheap food poses a health threat. When diabetes becomes an epidemic, obesity becomes a worldwide health problem. Income is being saved on food and spent on medicines, our way of life has gone wrong.
Calorie data on food labels, trans fatty acids, produced in situ. The labeling of yogurt as reconstituted milk is slowly changing.
The quest for efficiency raises food safety concerns
Controversial cloned food, organic food is also involved
The meat in a ground beef patty may come from thousands of cows, and there is no guarantee that the food will not be contaminated.
There is no guarantee the recalled food will not be on the table again
After this documentary allows us to understand the truth behind food, what is more important is that consumers can pay attention to it, and rely on their own strength to change national and government policy decisions, and never change the entire food production chain, so that market demand develops in a benign direction. .
