Kenner, R (Producer,Director) and Scholsser, E. (Producer). (2008). Food, Inc.[DVD].
Food, Inc. is a documentary that focuses on the way food is mass produced in our country, for our consumption. Often the process is detrimental to our health, the workers health and the health of plants and animals. Antibiotics are given to chicken, cows, pork, and so on to prevent diseases they are exposed to from being packed together. Plants are treated with chemicals to mass produce which we the consumer ingest. Diseases like E. Coli 157:H7 have experienced huge mutation problems and not just in the cattle or other animals, but from the run off into water supplies for irrigation. This is proving to infect spinach, and apple juice as well. People have died from this disease. The documentary further goes on to state that federal inpections are lacking and the health of Americans is largely ignored by regulators.
