HW 10 - Food, Inc. Response

Precis:


The main idea of this movie was to give people an insight on what it is really like in the places where our food is prepared.  They wanted to show you the actual truth behind what you are eating.  In the movie they showed you cases were a child died from eating a hamburger from a certain company that I don't remember.  The movie also showed you how the animals were treated before they were killed and how they were killed.  The last main idea was that it showed you how their is actually a lot of corruption in the food industry.

Some things that the movie offered that the book did not were more specific details of the way the animals were treated.  It really showed you how horrible their last seconds alive are and the way that the workers treated them.  Something that the book offered that the movie didn't was that the book was a bit more specific with the interviews and they had more statistics.

Some questions that I have after watching this movie are how come there aren't any laws against the way that these animals are treated?  The main feelings that dominate my response are just thinking about how horrible it must be to get treated that way for no reason.  It also really makes me think twice about eating the food I do after finding out the treatment the went through.
