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 hadn't seen this movie, I would have had a hard time believing that a child would have lost his life by eating a hamburger. The meat of the burger is made of ground beef. Tens of thousands of intensively farmed cattle are mixed into ground beef, and if a sick cow is mixed in, it can no longer be isolated from the ground beef. The poor kid just got sick from eating a beef burger with germs, costing his precious life. When ordinary food becomes deadly, where can the public feel at ease? The film also records the irony of the problem: the amount of bacteria in chicken processed in a closed large-scale food factory far exceeds that of chicken processed in an open environment on an ecological farm, but the relevant health department ordered the ecological farm to be transformed. Why are food factories exempted? Watching such a film makes people worry. Food companies put profits first, and government departments ignore them. What should the public do? Fortunately, ecological farms have begun to emerge, and niche farmers have returned to traditional farming methods. Although small, but at least there is a place to choose when you want to eat meaty meat.

Food, Inc. quotes

  • [last lines]

    Troy Roush - Vice President, American Corn Growers Association: You have to understand that we farmers... we're gonna deliver to the marketplace what the marketplace demands. If you wanna buy $2 milk, you're going to get a factoryfarm in your backyard. It's that simple. People have got to start *demanding* good, wholesome food of us, and we'll deliver; I promise you. We're very ingenious people, we will deliver.

  • Michael Pollan: The idea that you would need to write a book telling people where their food came from is just a sign of how far removed we've become. It seems to me that we're entitled to know about our food: who owns it, how are they making it, can I have a look in the kitchen?
