1.Which film did you choose to watch and why?
-I chose Food Inc. film because they explored the film from the real situation, the navigator talked about what happened in the farms where is the place to allow those companies to produce meats. Also, they included farmers to transfer their knowledge and experiences to the audiences; I like that the film is based on reality and real people who involve with the farming and producing …show more content…

This due to companies forced farm owners to do what they are told. Those meat products that I consume can be very unhealthy and inorganic. The filmmaker visited the farm and it is shown that chickens lived in the dense house, some are died, with the others that still alive which causes a lot of bacteria and unexpected diseases. In addition, I learnt that the one who get benefits from the meat production are food industries and companies. They will never tell the consumers the true because it is business. The food production involves with politics, illegal labors and cooperation. No one can really take the responsibility for the food production since it’s a mass production until it reaches to consumers. Many consumers may have no idea how the production is and how much food advertisements can distort the information to them. Moreover, I think that the food production is mass because a lot of people eat it for example, the large fast food chain like MacDonald’s that control the beef industry, therefore mass producing animal are hard to be under the equal standard of quality. Now, it is about the ethical issues that those companies and food industries should take into a consideration for consumers …show more content…

Meats are my meals, so when I know about the foods production, I am aware of what I eat more. The film affected how I think toward the big brands especially the brands That I often consume their foods, such as KFC and Pizza Hut. Those foods combine meats and it makes me curious of how they get the meat. If the production of chicken is what the film showed, I would not want to eat chicken again. I think that the food producers must take more responsibility of its production and concern more about consumers’ health. The problems of food industry such as callous treatment of farming, reformed used of corn, and advertisements of the food are not real. It makes me think that the food industry is selfish and they still fall behind the high technology; what they used in farms are under the standard of hygiene. Also, the producers’ ethical concerns for public is very rare. Mass production of food in reality is unfortunately scary for

The procedure of how food is made does not come into concern, only the results do. That is how large industrial farms are accepted, because they provide proficiently. The outcome of industrial farms outweighs the negative impacts, at least to industrial farmers. Pollan responds to Berry’s statement by agreeing with him on the issue of the current industrial model being acceptable to some consumers, only due to the fact that

These eaters ignore the politics concerning food rather looking for esthetics and quick service. Due to these disregarding’s, the industrial eaters won’t ever realize that eating responsibly is a way “to live free” (2). Berry then lists off seven points regarding how to eat more responsibly for the passive consumers. These points range from “[participating] in food production to the extent that you can” to “[learning] as much as you can, by direct observation and experience if possible, of the life histories of the food species” (Berry 4-5). Berry also believes that it’s important for the animals that meat comes from to have lived a pleasant life.

In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.

Within four decades there has been change, but perhaps in the wrong direction. Animals still live in confined areas with diseases and illnesses. The only change that has been made is that of the use of antibiotics, ammonia, and bleach to “purify” the meat. As is the saying you are what you eat could not be truer as it has been shown these chemicals added to our food (for the sake of high demand in meat and an ever higher demand for cheap goods) have caused harm to those consuming it. Cohen addresses this problem by adding, “But this is an unusually promising moment for food safety.

Throughout this book there is an underlying message about today’s culture and how it has changed eating for the better or worse. The first section of this book is all about industrialized farming and industrial eating. This form of food production is superior in terms of the amount of food produced. Unfortunately, in some cases, namely corn, food is being overproduced which brings down prices and hurts the economy. Another con to this form of farming is that it hurts the environment as well as some of the animals in the CAFO’s.

People of America were utterly disgusted by the uncleanliness of the production of the food they ate. “I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach” (“Muckrakers” 121). America felt betrayed and were confused by the lack of empathy or care given by major meatpacking companies. Public outcry over the contamination of their food was not fully supported by the person that incited it because he intended for the attention to go towards the terrible conditions that the workers in production industries go through. Their customers sought to seek regulation of the meatpacking industry due to the contamination of their food.

In the United States, according to the North American Meat Institute, the average man will consume about 6.9 oz of meat in a day, while a women will consume about 4.4 oz. Meat companies in America produced 25.8 billion pounds of beef and 38.4 pounds of chicken just in 2013 alone. People walk into grocery stores and purchase meat but never think twice about the environment their food, or the workers that handle the animals, were in. Upton Sinclair exposed the industry with “The Jungle” in 1906, people were now fully aware of what was sometimes in the meat, this lead to the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906. Therefore, once the 1980s came along, companies relocated to rural areas and became a non-union workforce.

According to Source C, the animals on their farms are abused. In addition, the meat purchased from supermarkets, and the meat in fast food restaurant are all processed the same way. This means that no matter what, whether the meat is cooked a healthier way or bought from a healthier market, you’re still eating the same meat from fast food franchises. Also, the animals are abused, feed to become more fat, and injected with hormones to grow larger to provide more meat. This isn’t natural fresh meat anymore, this is genetically modified

Finally, one more way to address the situation could be to help reduce food waste. It is an issue at production and consumption. There should be low cost storage methods that are close to farms and an improved transportation method. To help on the consumption end, clarification on “sell-by” and “best-before” labels can help reduce food waste which in turn will help better the global food system. These are ways we can help just the food system.
