HW . 10


This film is to show the truth behind our food and reveal all the secrets that big companies and the government are trying to keep us from knowing. The way we eat has changed over the last 50 years all the food we eat now is coming from a factory and the labels on the packages with little farms or free range are lies. By keeping this a secret people don’t know that the chicken they ate is mostly made up of chemicals or that the beef they are about to eat has about 70% of ammonia in it. The way to get people to eat it and not worry about things like this is to trick them, we need sugar, salt and fat so what’s better then going to McDonalds or Wendy’s were you get all three for a cheap price. Since food is addictive we got people to choose the cheap "fulfilling" bad food over the good healthy food that’s not going to make you obese by eating it. "This isn’t farming this is mass production like an assembly line in a factory" all the companies care about is making the most of something from very little and making a lot of money off of it, even if its not healthy and good for us. At factories they took pointers from fast food places and made it so that they can add chemicals and do what they have to do like an assembly line. Its kind of disturbing to find out that companies actually bleach our food which I never knew was possible and that companies wish to make it so that 100% of our food is made out of chemicals such as ammonia. I wonder then what do the people that know what there doing to the food eat. If I was a worker for Tyson or Perdue chicken or a beef company and new what was going on with the food I definitely wouldn’t eat it anymore, and I meet even try to stop people from eating it because its bad. But then if everyone stops eating chicken from those companies then they will start loosing money and firing workers and I would then loose a job. But companies automatically assume that people don’t care were their food came from but I think they would if they new especially what was going on. Also the movie gave more insight into what goes on with our food and shows how the big companies know they are doing something wrong if they don’t like  people coming in and looking around at what they are doing.
