Movie Reviews of Food, Inc.
Movie Review: Need to Watch!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this documentary, I am more aware of what my family eats and where it all comes from. I feel that it enplanes why our obesity rate has multiplied in the past 20 years. with all the growth hormones and the e-coli poisonings. this is a MUST WATCH Show! Thanks to Oprah, i would have kept suspecting what was happening to our food. But now I Know about the tons of antibiotics and the geneticly altered foods that we eat. We as a Nation have a right to know. It's the corporations that have taken our rights away in a underhanded way. As a nation we have always been told that united we stand divided we fall. We have become so trusting in our food. The doctors have been questioning why are So many people so Sick? Why does America have a weight issue, what about illegal immigration? well this explains that too. It also gives you Hope that if we bind together and stand up for ourselves. we CAN change these companies, AND our political system. I recommend that everyone watches this video. It's powerful, It's informative, It's matter of fact. every company that is represented in this documentary has had the opportunity to be interviewed but for some reason they declined. So much to hide and too much money to loose. the CEO's of these companies don't care about the health of the American people, it all come down to Money. What do we care about? Money or our health? Do we really care about the future of our children? they won't have one if we allow the companies to carry on like they have. They take living animals and change them into creatures that are sick and sell them to us, to feed to our kids. What are we going to do about it?Movie Review: Time to get our heads out of the sand
Summary: 5 Stars
Ignorance really is bliss. I was aware, to an extent of how inhumane animals were treated. I was aware of Monsantos evil ways. But this movie still packed enough of a punch and forced me to open my eyes a little more. Actually seeing the conditions of the animals THAT WE EAT, before they are slaughtered was just sad. The people that work for these companies treat their employees the same way. These are people that probably have no morals of any sort, nor do they value the human life. It's disgusting. After years of evolution and working hard to create rights and laws, people are still working in deplorable conditions. Seriously, is any of this necessary, except for big monopolies to pad their pockets?
Of course it's pro-organic, but do you really want to eat a chicken that is living in so much filth that it's fed antibiotics its entire life? Do you want a chicken that is loaded with growth hormones? How about a cow that's stuck in a pen on top of thousands of other cows, eating a diet of genetically modified corn and then killed inhumanely? We should all be forced to think about what we eat and try and take action against what's really going on. I think this country needs an overhaul of the system. I think it needs to just blow up (come to a head), so we can go back to simpler times.
I'm glad this movie focused on the subject at hand, without using gore and blood. If you want to see that, go watch an action flick. And for those that say it's biased and one sided. Of course it is. Just like any other controversial subject. Take what you want from it and discard the rest.
Movie Review: A food monoculture
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Kenner's movie is a perfect illustration of F. William Engdahl's book `Seeds of Destruction', which explains how international agribusinesses are trying to monopolize vertically and horizontally (and profit from) food production on a world scale.
The world's food chain is built mainly on heavily subsidized and, therefore, cheap corn. In fact, all humans chew corn the whole day long from bread over meat (all animals are fed with corn) to deserts and drinks. Transnational corporations are even trying to learn fish to eat corn. Corn becomes nearly a food monoculture.
A particular transnational company even developed through genetic engineering highly efficient corn seed which it patented, thereby creating a nearly seed monopoly. Buyers cannot use the produce of the seeds as plant seed for future harvests. The company's own inspection force controls with hawk eyes that its clients buy new genetically modified seed every year. Some of the company's supporters and former directors occupy key positions in US governments and government administrations (FDA).
The movie shows the disastrous effects of intensive farming on animals, as well as the health and environmental risks of diminished standards at livestock farming and slaughtering houses.
Fortunately, some biological farmers show more respect for their animals and for their clients.
At the end of the movie, the makers give a perfect list of recommendations for those wishing to eat `healthy' food.
This movie is a must see for all those who want to understand the world we live in.
Movie Review: Food Inc. is a MUST SEE Documentary!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Food Inc. is a MUST SEE documentary!!! I cried through most of it, enlightened now to the point of changing what I allow myself to eat, still grabbed and angered by the level of abuse the four corporations who control our food supply are poisoning our food supply, oppressing farmers, and, worst of all, SEVERELY ABUSING the animals, ALL the TIME (I haven't eaten Veal for decades because of what they do to them, but it turns out "factory farming" like that is the NORM now! : (). These corp's mandate that chickens not see any light, ever, so that the public may never see the abuse imposed on them. These chickens and pigs, crowded with their siblings and parents, in NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP FASHION, WATCH each of their associates, one by one, be brutally and heartlessly murdered, while they SCREAM BEGGING TO LIVE. The pigs are killed in one factory at the rate of 2,000 per HOUR--dumped ALIVE into a big bin on top of each other into a bin below, as though they are garbage. What doesn't kill them in the dump, kills them when a big metal CRUSHER COMES DOWN AND CRUSHES THEM ALL INTO A DEAD MASS (like they demo. automobiles). The 4 corp's do what they do because a humane fashion wouldn't make them as rich. They'd rather be rich than not poisoning us, feeding the animals grass, not shooting them with growth hormones etc. It's a life changing outrage that needs to be addressed, STARTING WITH ALL OF US REFUSING TO BUY THEIR
SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY, AND I HOPE IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE AS MUCH AS IT HAS CHANGED MINE!

Movie Review: Everyone must watch FOOD, INC.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, looks like others have already given enough information in their reviews so I'm just here to give it 5 Stars and to tell everyone that you need to watch this!
We need to take control of our health and we need to vote for healthier food. Each time we buy our food, we are voting and each of these votes count to create more demand for healthier food so the industry has to supply us with healthier food.
