This American documentary started with the fast food industry and gradually expanded to plantation, animal husbandry, and aquaculture. It examines the American food industry controlled by a few large companies. These large companies often place commercial interests above the health of consumers. , The lives of American farmers and the safety of workers. Some food packages in the United States are printed with patterns of livestock grazing on the green pastures, which makes people feel that the food production area is natural, hygienic, and free from industrial pollution. However, "Food Company" told the audience that this is an illusion. The U.S. animal husbandry industry now widely uses industrial technology to raise livestock. These technologies have negative effects on health, such as obesity, diabetes, salmonella infection, etc., as well as environmental pollution. Reuters also reported that several large-scale meat products companies in the United States refused to film crews filming their production processes. Some of the livestock breeding places that appeared in the film were secretly filmed by workers working there.
In fact, in our country, expired meat, poisoned rice, clenbuterol, cooking oil, melamine milk powder, and Sudan red. . . . . Everyone is no longer unfamiliar, and the Chinese are too "smart", food safety has almost become a joke in our country. But apart from the media reports when the incident occurred, people often became more and more insensitive because of what should be done in the three-minute heat.

    Eric Schlosser: These companies fight, tooth and nail, against labeling. The fast food industry fought against giving you the calorie information. They fought against telling you if there is trans-fat in your food. The meat packing idustry for years prevented country-of-origin labeling. They fought not to label genetically modified foods; and now 70% of processed food in the supermarket has some genetically modified ingredient.

  • Eric Schlosser: These companies have legions of attorneys. And they may sue, even if they know they can't win, just to send a message.
