I was immediately intrigued from the beginning of Food, Inc. There was interesting and valuable information brought up during the film. Many people do not think about where their food comes from. I believe that if people were to know where their food comes from, they would not want to eat it. There are 47,000 products at a grocery store. But, Food, Inc. implies that this is in fact an illusion because all of them are made with the same crops. The fact that there are only a few multi-national corporations that control all of the crops and meat production is a huge surprise. I believe that each person in society would be absolutely shocked if they were to watch this documentary.

Back in the 19th century bananas were not widely known. In fact, the western world hardly consumed the fruit, because of its exotic origin. The cultivation of banana is not easy. Bananas are one of the most highly perishable products that also need specific weather conditions in order to thrive. Indeed, bananas are only cropped in tropical regions, where temperature never falls under 13-14 degrees Celsius with high percentage of humidity and well-drained soil.
