distorted world, the lesser farmers and consumers, omnipotent food industry and

 A fantastic documentary and quite convincing except for some flaws (AW 1, 2, 3 ....)

The following are some excerpts
The industrial food system is always looking for greater efficiency, but every new step in efficiency leads to problems. If you take feedlot cattle off of their corn diet, give them grass for five days, they will shed 80% of the E.coli in their gut. But of course that's not what the industry does, the industrial approach, when it has a systematic problem like that, is not to go back and see what's wrong with the system, it's to come up with some high-tech fixes that allow the system to survive.

I'm always struck by how successful we have been in at hitting the bulls' eyes out of the wrong target, I mean, we have learnt, for example, in cattle, we have learnt how to plant, how to fertilize and harvest corn, using global positioning technology , and nobody sits back and asks: but should we be feeding cows corn? We have become a culture of technicians, we' are all into the how of it, and nobody is stepping back and saying" but why?", I mean, a culture that just views a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure to be manipulated by whatever creative design that humans can foist on that critter, will probably view individuals within its community and other cultures in the community of nations with the same type of disdain, disrespect, and controlling type of mentality.

Is cheapness everything there is? Who wants to buy the cheapest car? We are willing to subsidize the food system to create the mystique of cheap food, when actually it's very expensive food when u add up the environmental costs, societal costs, health costs. The industrial food is not honest food. It’s not priced honestly, it's not produced honestly, and it’s not processed honestly.

The evil--veil Monsanto that in control of soybeans, or food. There has been the revolving door between Monsanto's corporate offices and the various regulatory and judicial bodies that
Have made the key decisions. Monsanto has very close ties to the Bush administration, and the Clinton administration. This goes to why we haven't had much political debate over this radical change to our food system. For the past 25years our government has been dominated by the industries that were meant to be regulating.

You are talking about power, centralized power. And that is being used against people who are really producing the food, like the farmers, the workers, and the consumers who are deliberately being kept in the dark of what they are eating, where it comes from, and what is doing about us.

These cloned animals are a fundamentally new thing, it's incredible that FDA not only wants to allow the sale of meat from cloned animals without further research but also wants to allow the sale of this meat without any labeling.
 78% of the processed food in the supermarket contains some genetically modified ingredient


The food industry has different protections than other industries do. If u recall the case where Oprah was sued by the meat industry for something she said on the show. 德州 cattleman sued Oprah for disparaging a food product and foe loss of profit. After six years of litigation and over one million in legal fees, Oprah finally won the lawsuit. "We have a lot of questions about the mad cow disease」


We have had a food system that has been dedicated to the single virtue of efficiency, so we grow a very small number of crops, a very small number of varieties, and a very small number of varieties. Even though now we achieve efficiencies, the system is very precarious and you will have a breakdown eventually.

People think these companies are so big and so powerful, how we』re going to change them? The battle against tobacco is a perfect model of how an industry's irresponsible behavior can be changed

America is like this, how about China?   舉報
