The two documentaries "Food Company" and "Medical

Insider . The dilemma that monopoly food companies and insurance companies bring to Americans' diet and medical care are respectively described.

Food companies have told us the cruel facts behind the glamorous exterior of a developed capitalist system. Animal breeding is inhumane, food choices are almost scarce (the main varieties are corn, soybeans, wheat and other cash crops), and deformed subsidies hit small farms Agriculture in the main and less developed countries, labor exploitation (one of the evils of mechanized mass production, kidnapping the future of workers), consumers have little knowledge of information. Medical Insider provides us with a similar scenario.

The United States, the country that created the most developed capitalist system, is gradually reaching a dead end. On the contrary, Western Europe, Britain, France, Canada and other countries have more human factors to consider, and there is a certain degree of fairness, but at the cost of reducing efficiency. The backward countries also seem to have a lot to like. For example, his clear river water, healthy food, leisurely life, guaranteed medical care and pension system, etc.

The two films "Food" and "Medical" show us the American people's resistance: just like the eve of the change of dynasties in ancient China, the people were in dire straits. Any dissenting speech is stifled, and any small resistance is suppressed. Giants or rulers will use unequal financial, material and other social resources to suppress and intimidate you.

However, after watching the documentaries of "Food" and "Medical", in addition to immediately going to the Internet to search the current situation of the director and other people's comments on the film, another strong feeling is to buy the stocks of Chinese food companies and insurance companies. Before Chinese managers fully absorb these negative effects, companies in these two fields will learn more from the American model. We've had centralized chicken, pig, and cattle farms, and in some provinces, we've started to plant Monsanto seeds on a large scale; our insurance companies have also begun to tend to default rather than pay bills on time.

As a small investor, in order to resist inflation, it is still necessary to allocate in these two areas.

Finally, let me give you a long-winded sentence: Yurun, Shuanghui, Sanquan, Missing, Mengniu, Yili, Tsingtao Brewery, and Yanjing are listed companies. Everyone, such as Life Insurance, Ping An, and Taibao, should pay attention.

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?
