In 2009 a movie by the name of Food Inc. was released that challenged the production of food we eat. The movie examines everything from the science of seeds all the way through the consumption of the food, the food’s often negative effects on the body. The movie ends with the line “You can change the world with every bite”. This quote embodies the heart behind movie that change starts with the individual, and how they make food choices. This sort of change that Food Inc. invokes implies that top down change that the consumer can bring about change to the seed level. Food Inc. challenges the processes that allow companies like Monsanto to feed the world. We must understand how media like Food Inc. effects this mission to feed the world by examining the movie, the history of Monsanto as a company, and looking at the response from both sides to these challenges made in the public square to better combat and address issues brought forth.
One reason that you might bring your own snacks is that the snacks are really, really overpriced. This is an excerpt from the article we read a few days ago, “Why pay 5$ for M&M's when you can get them for several dollars cheaper at the corner store?...a Michigan man named Joshua Thompson sued his local AMC theater for banning outside food...the ban violated a state law that prohibits ‘price gouging’”. As it said in the text, some theaters are forcing you to buy overpriced junk food by banning outside food. That is really mean. Some people might even say it’s illegal to ban people from doing that like Joshua Thompson.
The basic survival needs of human beings include a small list of four things: food, water, clothing, and shelter. After watching an interview with Robert Kenner, the director of Food, Inc., I began to realize that the food humans are eating is actually decreasing are survivability. Within the excerpts from the movie and the dialogue amongst the interviewers, it was made apparent that the food industry has been able to completely deceive the consumers. Instead of choosing food for quality, individuals choose food by lowest price. As Kenner said in the video, “we have skewed our food system to the bad calories” (2:38). Instead of healthy home cooked meals, families are purchasing fast food for its convenience and low cost. However, the video made a very interesting stance in regards to this mentality. Although individuals are paying the lowest price for food in history, the cost of treating diseases caused by unhealthy eating has grown to be higher than ever before (8:04).
Explanation: Lynn Kelly speaks to a consumer Joyce, who talks about shopping at a grocery store and not being able to afford the healthy foods. "Joyce pointed, 'Fruit is high. Everything is high vegetable is high. So, it's really expensive when you wan to eat good '." Here, the consumer knows what the healthy foods are such as fruits and vegetables however, since she can not afford it so she does not purchase it. Many American households live on a tight budget, in which the expense of consuming a meal is kept at a minimum thus,this leads to eating at a cheap fast food restaurant. Mcdonald's "Dollar Menu" is attractive to low income communities where they a can achieve a whole meal with a few dollars.
Mmm that fast food, the stuff I flock to at an airport, the stuff that I crave after a game on a soccer road trip, the stuff I find myself eating more often than not late on a Friday or Saturday night. I ordered, I ate, and I enjoyed. But I didn't really give much thought, other than that, to fast food. Eric Schlosser really opened my eyes to the world of fast food in his book Fast Food Nation. Little did I know that the so called food that I was eating was the product of decades of work and refinement in the fast food industry. An industry that was built on economic principles and driven by The notion that the principles of microeconomics work well in economics textbooks, but not in the real world is not true because Schlosser provides evidence from various parts of the fast food

People should be allowed to bring outside food into the movies. I agree with this because "why pay $5 for M&Ms when you can get them for several dollars cheaper at the corner store" (16). You can save money to do other things better later on in the week. In the article Is It OK to Sneak Food Into the Movies? by Justin O'Neill he says "Movie theaters makes a little as 20 percent of there total revenue from ticket sales" (17) .
In the article, “Is it ok to sneak food into the movies?” it talks about how the snack business usually makes more than the actual movie! Usually most of the food is junky anyways so customers would necessarily want to buy it. I agree with the argument of what if you want something free? This article says how the food can be as much as 5 dollars for a bag of M&M’s. More so it's against the rules, some theaters will do so much as kick you out for simply bringing food into a
Would you like to have no decisions on the healthiness of your food, and being able to only eat fast food, fried foods, etc. Most people would say no and rightfully so, people should be able to have choices on the foods they want to eat whether it’s healthy, unhealthy, fast food, farm grown, we shouldn’t have only unhealthy foods for our choices of what we eat. In the film Food Inc. directed by Robert Kenner there is a part in the movie that talks about the food choices of consumers. A point that was talked about for a decent amount of time in this part was how healthier foods are more expensive than fast food. This stood out to me because it’s true it cost more to eat healthy than it does to just go through a drive through. This is outrageous it should be the opposite, we should have to spend more for fast food than healthy foods. While at most fast food places there are ways you can eat healthy food but it is still more expensive than just buying a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets. During this part of the film a family was talking and saying that they have to choose whether to eat healthier food or get there father/husbands medicine so he could work. A family has to choose between those to things and that is not fair to anyone that has to make that decision. The family wanted to have better food and to not always be eating fast food meals but they don’t really have a choice and that is heartbreaking to see.
There is nothing wrong with bringing your own food into the movie theater because their are cheaper prices for food available at other establishments, some people have allergies which limits them when it comes to the foods available at the movies, and some people choose to not eat the movie theater food due to the incredible unhealthiness of the food. Saving money is very important and spending money on movie theater food when you can get it cheaper somewhere else is incredibly naive. Allergies are something that cannot be stopped and when people with these allergies go to the movies they do not deserve to be limited to the foods they can eat there. Some people may prefer to nosh on healthier foods during a movie so that they may continue to eat a healthy diet even during a movie. There is nothing truly wrong with sneaking food into the movie
go too, the cost of the movie, and visiting the concession stand, which is over-rated and over-priced, but I do love some theater pop-corn. Assume a family of two (one adult) (one child)
