FOOD inc.

I dont want to believe it but food inc was reality. The movie begins by saying "the way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in 10,000 years." It gave viewers a chance to see what goes on behind the wall created to keep us out. the truth to the ways we think are normal. the film illustrated the key faults to our food system. The need for mass production and companies doing anything to get ahead.

Unlike reading a book, or just hearing about some story the movie Food inc showed people. People shared real stories about their lives. The difference between it being in a movie rather than a book is that you can see the person. You can see their passion and emotion towards the event they are describing. A example being Kevin. The little boy was died 12 days after eating meat with ecoli. Seeing the mother stuggle to talk about her family was heartbreaking. As people i think that helps us connect and relate to her.

And still, the only solution i consider to be a realistic start is to get informed. By changing first what we eat. Then opening up the hidden world of food to other people. I think if people really knew where their food came from they wouldn't eat it. If people were informed i think he would be the start of a noticeable change.
