Food, Inc

Food, Inc was definitely an eye-opening film. It made people more aware of how our food is made and what they do to the animals in order to make so many foods that most Americans enjoy. The food issue that stood out to me the most was how much corn is used in our everyday foods. I’m always reading the labels on the back of food because my brother has a peanut allergy. I never realized though that all the words that I honestly didn’t understand were mostly other words for corn. Corn is in more food products than any other food because it is easy and cheap to produce.

 I liked that this film did not shy away from using pathos. The film showed the conditions that they kept the animals under. It made me cringe seeing how they torture these poor animals and put them in rooms where they are all on top of each other. They are truly under the worst and most horrifying conditions. It was even worse to see how humans came to take the animals and kill them in such inhumane ways. Although this film did not keep me away from ever eating meat again, I still feel that the conditions that the animals are kept under in containment should certainly be changed. I also liked that they used pathos when explaining Kevin’s law. It really makes you feel as though you’re in Kevin’s mothers shoes when she fights to get this law passed. I don’t understand why the government will not pass the law so that there can be more E-coli inspections.

A food formula that I would follow is, “Eat food that makes you feel good. After, go for a run.” The best thing you can do for your body is eat food that will make you feel energized. You should try your best to keep fast-food to a minimum. It is not good to feel like you have a brick in your stomach all the time. Eating healthier food will make you feel and look great. After eating this healthy food, you should exercise. People who eat well and exercise about three to four times a week are much healthier than the people who eat McDonald’s and sit on the couch all day.
