Food Inc. Movie

                Watching this movie opened my eyes in so many ways. It was excellent in the way it described and taught the audience. I learned so much about the food I was eating and it was shocking. I already had a good idea about where and what was in the food I was eating, but this movie brought it to light even more. The movie examines corporate farming here in America and how agribusinesses produce unhealthy foods.  It’s not only unhealthy for the people, but for the employees and animals as well. People are oblivious to what they are exactly eating, and that needs to be changed. From the genetically transformed animals to the fake foods and ingredients this movie proves that being aware of what you are eating is a necessity. Throughout the film, it talked about the many harms of fertilizing and pesticides, along with the general public’s way of eating and how unhealthy it is. I also learned how much corn is used in just about everything. It’s used as feed for the cows, who must adjust their eating habits to even consume corn. Corn is mainly used to make these cows hefty in the shortest amount of time. This means that the beef we eat is also based on corn…yet again. Eating locally grown veggies and even meats is the way to go because it benefits the community and gives you the freshest food available. It’s good for your body and is needed to keep you healthy and not blindly picking out food in the grocery store. Overall, I'm glad I got to see this movie because it has definitely changed my mind on what I eat on a daily basis.
