Food Inc. really got me thinking and curious about everything that is going on with the food industry. So I did a little bit of my own reading and deep thought into the obvious controversy of cheap food and the injection of steroids into there system..
Truth be told, even though the drugs are bad for our system, by causing obesity in mass doses of the food with engulf, it is actually good for us. It is hard to explain, but I will try to explain this my best.
-If you took someone from our day in age who eats a lot of the food we have produced with HGH injected to it and put them back 50 years ago when produce was all natural and there was little processing involved, and they hard to start eating the food they produce, they would start to get sick and get symptoms of headaches and stomach issues that could be fatal
- And vice versa, If a farmer that ate good produce 50 years ago and came to our time and just started eating our food, they would get extremely sick and pass away due to an extreme change in diet.
I work work out and keep a calorie count to make sure that I am not over eating, though when I was in my prime with swim I polish off about 12,000 calories a day but still, its about diet and intake that keeps you healthy. So the fact that they inject drugs and cause foods to be extremely fattening that doesn't bother me because we have choice and the chance to make sure that does not happen. but what the video opened my eyes too was the disgusting way the employers ran there business.
They treated the workers in humility and ran over them likes slaves, causing them to work in horrific conditions. also the fact that they sold there illegal workers out and got them arrested is insanely corrupt. Food Inc. did not cover much on the subject but I believe there should be an investigation on the police and employers who are involved in this fraud.
sadly and investigation with never happen because well there is too much invested in this fraud. sadly i have seen food inc one too many times for it to have the same effect for me, but i do applaud you have really thinking about it and not becoming totally numbed and jaded by it
