Food Inc.

Food Inc. is a documentary that was created in 2009, and it shows about how only a handful of meat packing and slaughter factories can monopolize the meat business. It also shows how one big company can financially dominate local people who make their living off their farms.

For example, the seed company Monsanto is a company that produced genitally modified corn that it grows faster than normal corn. Monsanto had to get a "private eye" to go out to local people's farm and see if farmers was using their corn they created without the proper paper work. Farmers that wasn't using Monsanto's corn had farmers next to them using their corn. It's very much possible that the seeds could travel to a farmer's farm if the farm was close enough, but Monsanto didn't see it that way. This company was after one thing...MONEY.

Meat companies just wanted their cattle, pigs, or chickens grow bigger faster and cheaper, they would do anything. If that meant feeding cow corn because it was cheaper, or buying more cows without the space they needed. What the company didn't know was feeding the cow corn was making them sick. All the cows needed was five days of eating grass to lower the risk of pathogen 70% which meant the e coil break out won't have happened like it did, but company just wanted the money out of it.

It took a young child to die before they recalled their contaminated beef, Barbara Kowalcyk the mother, of Kevin Kowalcyk to try to sue the Supreme Beef company, the company had the money to get the right lawyer they needed to protect them from incidences like this happening. After her failed attempted she went to Ana Eshoo, a lawyer and activist. To get help these kind of things from happening.

I feel as we as a nation can stop, or help to stop this from happening. These big meat companies need us to buy the food and if we just start buying organic foods, or from local farmers then we are helping. I think that's all it takes is for us to stand up and help out. I know organic foods are not in all people's price range, but maybe buying one organic product every time you go to the store, then that's a start.
