Hw#10-Food, Inc. Response

People should know where their food is coming from and especially what is in the food. There is so much cruelty towards the animals in the industrial farming and the some of the meat they aren't we are eating is not real"food" but simply small molecules being broken up in pieces. Farmers get treated so poorly and do not get enough credit for what they do while these big arigculture companies get all this money for making us unhealthy. In order for us to change for the better, we need to be smarter with our food choices, pay attention to labels and stand up for our food.

Compared to the book, i was able to better visualize the process of the animals and what really happens behind closed doors of the food industry especially the politics and the government side of things. I liked how i was able to see people's different point of views and how they felt on the food industry. In the book i was able to see Michael Pollan view and his journey through the food industry and the ideas he felt. Also the different techniques that he used along the way which i found very interesting.

After watching the movie it made me think twice about my food. Also reading the book and seeing the movie i have decide to maybe try and become a vegetarian. I think that the way they treat the animals are horrible and digusting and i wouldn't want somebody to put that "stress" on me. Today when i actually went food shopping i was paying close attention to the labels on the foods that my mom was getting and thought do they really mean what they are saying? Are they sure they included every single detail of what is IN this product? I just feel overall its open me up to other ideas and views that i've never thought before. I once said i would never stop eating meat maybe that day will change maybe not even just meat just eating better to maintain being healthy.
