OVERVIEW of The Actual 90min Movie

The current method of raw food production is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since the 1950s. The production of food overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand years prior. Controlled primarily by a handful of multinational corporations, the global food production business - with an emphasis on the business - has as its unwritten goals production of large quantities of food at low direct inputs (most often subsidized) resulting in enormous profits, which in turn results in greater control of the global supply of food sources within these few companies.

Health and safety (of the food itself, of the animals produced themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines, and of the consumers actually eating the food) are often overlooked by the companies, and are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences. Many of the changes are based on advancements in science and technology, but often have negative side effects.

The answer that the companies have come up with is to throw more science at the problems to bandage the issues but not the root causes. The global food supply may be in crisis with lack of biodiversity, but can be changed on the demand side of the equation.

Filem dokumentari Food, Inc patut ditonoton oleh semua orang kerana memaparkan kebobrokan dan kepincangan dalam industri pemprosesan makanan mentah seperti daging dan sayur-sayuran di Amerika. Ia mendedahkan keburukan amalan yang dilakukan oleh pengusaha dan penternak yang menggunakan kaedah moden bagi mengembangkan hasil pertanian atau ternakan mereka.

Ayam disuntik untuk mendapatkan baka yang bersaiz besar, cepat matang, diletakkan di dalam kandang yang tertutup tidak disinari cahaya matahari sepanjang hayat, lembu diternak di dalam kandang yang sempit, membesar bersama najisnya yang dibiarkan bertaburan, apabila disembelih - bakteria yang masih terdapat pada tubuhnya mencemarkan dagingnya lalu dimakan oleh manusia. Filem ini mendapat kritikan yang hebat terutama oleh pihak yang mempunyai kepentingan dalam industri makanan proses.

Jika ia berlaku di Amerika yang memiliki 30% keluasan tanah dikhaskan untuk penternakan, apa kurangnya negara kita Malaysia yang mempunyai tanah yang terhad? Apakah lebih teruk dari itu?

Saya sarankan kepada pembaca sekelian menonton filem ini - jika ia tidak terdapat di pasaran tempatan, anda boleh muat-turun menggunakan Torrent atau pergi ke link di bawah ini.

Here we have an interest documentary released today. Food, Inc. is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner. The film examines large-scale agricultural food production in the United States, concluding that the meat and vegetables produced by this type of economic enterprise leads to inexpensive but unhealthy and environmentally harmful food. There are some minor blurs on the video, and occasionally black and white screens.

The film’s first segment examines the industrial production of meat (chicken, beef & pork), calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable. The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables (primarily corn and soy beans), labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable. The film’s third and final segment is about the economic and legal power of the major food companies, whose livelihoods are based on supplying cheap but contaminated food, the heavy use of petroleum-based chemicals (largely pesticides and fertilizers), and the promotion of unhealthy food consumption habits by the American public.[/quote]
