This movie reinforced the things I knew in the back of my mind. It gave me the images to place with the things I knew were happening. It is so sad and just makes my stomach feel sick. One of the things that really got to me in this movie was the child that died from e coli, even after something as tragic as that, the big companies still didn't change and I know that it is just so much all about the money, but someone that has the power to change things has to have a heart. The US already has so many problems with the generations to come, that if something as simple as the food we eat isn't taken seriously the country as a whole is just gonna go down the drain. We need to ban certain things that are causing way more harm then good, and we need to make it so farmers doing it the right way can survive and function. It is so sad that it really isn't even possible right now to revive our country and get back to before we were ruining our food. We are just rely on it all too much now and it is so sad that it has come to this. Chickens that can only walk two steps before falling down, is just a sickening thing to think about. Genetically modifying them just so they have more of the meat that we like to eat. I feel like they were created the way they are for a purpose. It is just all so wrong and sad.

I completely agree with your post. I am equally upset and disgusted in this documentary. I like where you talk about how the US already has so many problems that food safety should not be one of them! Our country has to start rethinking what it's feeding to it's people and set a higher standard for food production. I think it is completely true that farmer's who produce quality, organic food should be put high regard. All of this makes me want to start growing my own food! I know it's unrealistic but just thinking about the realistic poor quality of the food I'm eating makes me nautious.
