When you try to open your mouth wide, I hope the next mouthful is not rubbish

Low cost - junk food swept the world's killer. It is precisely because of the low cost that even if junk food appears in the form of low price (such as the $1 burger in the drive-in restaurant in the film), junk food merchants can still earn super high profit margins. It is precisely because of the low price that junk food has become an irresistible choice among people with a high Engel coefficient (it is the one that eats hamburgers in the movie, and their limited income makes their "choice" in the supermarket from the formality. Multiple choice becomes essentially limited choice). From an economic point of view, there is really no condemnation for the pursuit of "low cost" and "low price". But the problem is, when low-cost food production continues to pose a dual environmental and health hazard, and drives out other food production methods from the market, this process should be stopped immediately by external forces. At least in theory. In the USA and EU, spinning-type social structures have a low Engel coefficient middle class as the main constituent group of the society, they can constitute enough economic force to demand "rational" food production process and healthy supply of manufactured goods . Here, videos like FOOD, INC are a good guide for their food optimization choices. In PRC, in the pyramid-shaped social structure, a low disposable income group with a high Engel coefficient is the main constituent group of the society. They have no choice but to form a huge consumer receptor to stimulate the low-cost junk food. Their constant outpouring. Here, films like FOOD, INC are a painful wake-up call for them, after accepting a series of ugly truths about junk food, they still have to continue to send this garbage and toxins into the mouths of themselves and their families. Of course, what is even more tragic is that in AFRICA, the monopoly of low-cost food is further aggravation of famine for them, and even the shaking of the country's economic foundation (from the replacement of basic crop production by imported low-priced food) and the intensification of political dependence . So, when people in USA and EU went to the market after seeing FOOD, INC to make some healthier consumption choices, I can only be deeply depressed here: food safety is like a gray selection button here, Visible but not on point. I also walked into the street, looking left and right for a long time, and uttered a whine that could not be found in the dazzling array.

Food, Inc. quotes

  • Joel Salatin: I'm always struck by how successful we have been at hitting the bull's-eye of the wrong target. I mean we have learned- for example, in cattle we have learned how to plant, fertilize and harvest corn using global positioning satellite technology, and nobody sits back and asks, "But should we be feeding cows corn?" We've become a culture of technicians. We're all into the how of it and nobody's stepping back and saying "But why?"

  • Title card: In 1972, the FDA conducted approximately 50,000 food safety inspections. In 2006, the FDA conducted 9,164.
