Essays on Food Inc

Food Inc. is a 2008 documentary film that explores the industrial production of food in the United States and how it affects people’s health, animals, and the environment. The movie was directed by Robert Kenner and co-produced by Participant Media and Magnolia Pictures. The documentary highlights some of the major issues with industrialized agriculture, including limited access to healthy food options for many Americans; unhealthy working conditions for workers in slaughterhouses; animal cruelty; environmental pollution caused by factory farms; unsanitary processing plants; corporate control over food production and distribution; economic exploitation of farmers who are not able to compete with government subsidized agribusinesses. It also examines the role of government subsidies which have created an agricultural system reliant on large corporate producers instead of small family farms. The movie features interviews from experts such as Michael Pollan (author), Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation author)and Barlett & Steele award winning journalist Gary Hirshberg discussing their views on these topics. Additionally, there are stories from individuals such as Will Allen (urban farming entrepreneur) and Barbara Kowalcyk (food safety advocate). Throughout the movie, viewers can see how these companies manipulate our food supply while making profits at every step along the way – from farm to table. Although Food Inc primarily focuses on American agriculture practices, it is a global issue because all countries rely heavily on industrial methods to provide cheap foods for its citizens but often ignores hidden costs associated with this kind of production like pollution or social injustice involved in producing those goods. This film effectively opens our eyes to what really goes into creating our meals everyday so we should be aware about where our food comes from before purchasing it or consuming it carelessly without understanding its source or implications that come along with it .
