Food, Inc.: Documentary Analysis

As the world expands through time and business, the natural process of developing food is forced to adapt to the growing demands of civilization. Henceforth, the modern-day food industry is capable of producing a plethora amount of nutrients that sustains mass populations. However, is the modern tradition and technique of mass food production hiding a burdened truth behind the curtains of society’s unawareness? Is such truth more sinister than productive? Filmmaker Robert Kenner directed a documentary in 2008 where the methods of processing meats and harvesting crops were analyzed with their effects. As a result, Kenner’s documentary, Food Inc., has revealed that the ways foods are processed have consequently made them perilous for society. Through the use of

If you want to lose weight and cut out on junk food, then maybe you should try watching Food Inc. Food Inc. is a very well-written documentary directed by Robert Kenner. This documentary has created nightmares for many Americans as to where their food comes from. It explains that the food we eat isn’t always produced the way we think it is. From harsh chemicals to foul pesticides that these foods receive, go straight to our stomachs. It reveals how once farms owned by families now is handed over to multi-millionaire dollar corporations. Food Inc. shows the inhumane way the industry makes food by abusing the animals and workers without regarding food quality, health, or the environment. The film features Vince Edwards,

The documentary film Fed Up (2014) defines the problem of obesity in American culture due to low quality food products being sold by corporations through fast food chains and convenient stores. Katei Couric (the narrator) brings forth the argument that the quest for profits by industrial food producers reduces the quality of food through products, such as high fructose corn syrup. Currently, the dominance of industrial farming, genetic engineering, and lack of sustainable options define a downward trend in food quality: “One reasons why large farms are relatively unproductive compared to small farms is that large farms the world over tend to use monoculture. Monoculture is a single crop species” (8:45). This type of inefficient and wasteful method of farming depletes the land of minerals and tends to produce massive quantities of crops, such as corn and grain, as a base for the food supply. This corn product tends to be used in almost every food throughout the food chain, including feeding livestock for beef, corn syrup in fatty foods, etc. Therefore, industrial farming produces a decreasing variety of food products due to the prominence of massive industrial farms that produce America’s primary food supply. This encourages unhealthy and fatty foods (soda, bread, grease fried foods, etc.) to flood the food markets for greater profits due to the lower costs of food production.

This documentary changed the way I now look at food. What disturbed me the most was the inhumane treatment that meat companies do to these animals. When chicks become hatched from their shell, they are immediately placed on a conveyor belt, seconds old into their life. They are then thrown out to be stamped by a worker. This to me is already not right, they should be hatched in a farm not a factory. When these chicks grow up to be chickens, they never see the light of day in their coop houses. They are crowded together in thousands of numbers in these coop houses. Some of the chickens die because they are too fat to move around in coop. Today, chickens are grown to be slaughtered in 48 days, versus

Food Inc. Documentary Report Fatter, Faster, Bigger and Cheaper Fatter, faster, bigger and cheaper seems to be the way the food industry operates in America today. The Food Inc. documentary shed a short light on how our food is processed and how our image of the “American farmer” is no more than a memory. The film really made you think about what we are feeding our families. Throughout this movie Kenner highlights on how are meat is processed, and let me just say I was disgusted. I am a hunter and I have never had a problem killing my animal and butchering it myself, but as I watched how cows were standing in their own fecal matter three to four feet deep I about vomited, I thought to myself ‘ why is this not considered animal cruelty?’

The documentary, Food Inc., was very eye-opening as to how the food we eat is produced. I was particularly shocked at how inhumane the production of meat is. Also, this production showed to be environmentally harmful. The other surprising part was how much of our food is reliant on corn and soybeans. The similarity in taste in many different foods is probably due to the small number of crops that go into food production. I absolutely do not agree with the way our food is produced. Primarily because it shouldn't be such a small number of corporations or such a small number of crops that go into the production of our food. Also, these corporations seem adamant about ensuring that the public is unaware of this fact. People still eat the food knowing

Watching Food Inc. movie was a deception and a horrifying experience on what is happening in the food industry in the U.S. After spending time on some of resources like The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on food safety, The National Food Processors’ Association that are in place to protect farmer’s industry and food consumers, to find out these agencies like are not protecting farmers nor are protecting food consumers in the U.S; and to learn about big corporations like Tyson Foods, Monsanto that are controlling food industry are putting profit ahead of consumer health, the lives of American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. The examples failures of U.S. laws including granting patent right of seed to Monsanto,

In this informative documentary, Robert Kenner shows us the sick animals, unhealthy and tainted food, obesity, diabetes, environmental spoils, and other issues associated with getting high profit margins. I believe Food Inc. is a very powerful documentary and this has the potential to change how millions of Americans choose to

In his documentary film, Food Inc., Robert Kenner strives to divulge the reality of how food gets created in a time where mass consumerism controls peoples lives. Kenners purpose is to uncover how 90% of the foods we eat are chemically enhanced consequently increasing people's desires for them. Furthermore, he attempts to exhibit the cruelty present in the production of the products. To demonstrate this, he filled his documentary with facts, imagery and interviews that causes the audience to be repelled by the food industry and the abhorrent things they have done.

Food Inc., a documentary, coordinated by Robert Kenner (2008) has done their employment if the motion picture has given a voice to an issue and a face to the issue that should be known. Food Inc. what 's more, the Media utilize the apparatuses of social brain research to convince and make its point. Narrative movies are compelling media apparatuses that can be utilized to illuminate, influence, and persuade general society on numerous social points on a constant range of inconveniences and battle of the world. Some well-had documentaries affect individuals who watch them, and this is the thing that the films are they intended to do. Eric Schlosser, one of the film 's co-maker said all that needed to be said in Food Inc., "The industry doesn 't need you to know reality about what you 're eating, on the grounds that in the event that you knew, you might not have any desire to eat it" (Pearce, Schlosser and Robledo, 2008). He reports that ranches don 't raise our sustenance all things considered, it is brought up in manufacturing plants. These multinational organizations don 't need people in general to know how they produce our nourishment. What do this film and my own self-idea need to do with one another? "Who am I?" This investigation of my actual self is an on-going procedure.

A direct quote said by Joel Salatin, the owner of Polyface Farms, states,”If we put glass walls on all the mega-processing facilities, we would have a different food system in this country.” This is a famous quote from the informational and eye opening movie Food Inc. The documentary was created to help change America’s views on the way they eat and how their food is produced. The American Society deserves to know the truth about how their food is being produced.

Food, Inc. is a strong critique of industrial food production, revealing truths about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner examines how huge corporations have taken over all parts of the food chain in the United States, from the farms where our food is grown to the chain restaurants and supermarkets where it 's sold. The film examines the industrial production of meat, grains, and vegetables, claiming the entirety of our food industry is cruel, and economically and environmentally unsustainable, as it continues to examine today’s industry by exploring the economic and legal powers large food companies have.

For this Review Assignment, I chose to view Food, Inc. This documentary looks at the food industry’s harmful effects on human health and the environment. It was full of all sorts of facts and figures. It was almost as if the director and producers were trying to use scare tactics or fear factors. While I am sure that all the statistics in the documentary were true, they were also rather one-sided. I know there is likely more evil than good in the food industry, I bet there at least a few good things that they could have talked about. I think this documentary tried to focus on a few too many topics in an hour and a half. While I get why they did that, to inform us of a wide variety of things taking place in the food industry, it seemed slightly

While watching Food Inc, I was shocked to see how animals are treated, in order to produce the food the general population eats. Even though, humans have been killing animals for food for many centuries, the way they are treated now is beyond excuse. They should have the ability to enjoy their lives, however, short that might end up being. There is no need to try and rush a product, especially when it affects the quality of the product. As it was mentioned in the film, in the case of the cow, they feed it corn to fatten it quicker. Despite, this helping to make the cows fatter for slaughter, this greatly affects the cow. Not only in the cow’s quality of life, but it also endangers the meat of being contaminated. This contamination is preventable,

Food Inc. is a documentary that exposes the food industry for the true money hungry monster it really is. Throughout the documentary it shows the audience what the large and controlling companies do to keep themselves on top. While watching the video, in class, it really opens the eye of the viewer. It shows the viewer that the food industries really don’t care about their consumers’ well-being. This is seen clearly in the documentary when the mothers’ son dies because of a defective product and the company that created it does not even lift a finger to help out or apologize to and her family. As a result I believed that although food is safer than it was one hundred years ago, I don’t believe that the food industry, and the corporation’s that
