we are eating food that we don't know where the food are coming from, which it may cause some disease in our body. According to the food, inc by A Robert Kenner Film, Tell us that The food Industry has become a monopoly.The food industry is very secretive that chickens are raised in secluded areas and is not open to the public. The farmers are told not to reveal their method and they are penalized if they open or honest. The Industry controls farmers through debt which the Equipment chicken houses is very expensive. The Industry owns the product and control the prices.The Industry control the standards of the food.
The food industry use a factory model to produce fruits and vegetable grown all year round with the use of chemicals.The ammonia is used to sanitize meat,hormones and an fibrotics in meat. the assembly lines at slaughter houses is products grown, raised to look exactly the same.And the entire industry is controlled by a handful of companies. the 1970's 25% of the market is now control 80%. Most federal regulates and lobbyists work for these companies, and most regulations are not strictly on forced. The junk food is cheaper that the dollar menu and super sizing. the media and advertising kid meals. Junk is cheaper because corn and soy are government subsidized commodities. The health consequences death,obesity diabetes, HBP, heart disease.The fast food companies are the food industry biggest customers.The franchising leads to standardization of food. The treatment of workers are getting low pay and they don't have a benefits. And they are unsafe,and the have unsanitary working condition.
I think that the government should be in control of where the food are coming from because if we don't know we might be effect by some disease in our body. we need to be in good health because is most important in our life.
