Food, Inc.

I recommend watching this, it's informative and empowering. However, it acts as an overview of the industrialized food system in our country, and mainly focuses on the production of beef, poultry, and pork. I've seen and read Fast Food Nation, and Food, Inc. covered a lot of the same territory. Many people are now aware of how detrimental to our health, the planet and our economy the large scale production of meat in America has become. I think whats equally compelling and less discussed is the industrialization of produce that travels across continents before being sold in my local supermarket. I want to know about the major ports in my city where food is shipped, how it's transported, the workers who are employed, and the mechanisms put in place by our government to make all of that possible. What kind of trade agreements do we have with other nations? How do the decisions made by our government shape agriculture in less industrialized nations? The food industry has recently garnered more public scrutiny, and I only wish this film supplemented that by further publicizing the numerous facets of food production on a global scale.
