The dynamics of eating have changed drastically in our lifetime. I remember growing up in a household where everything was made from scratch and arriving in this country the vast differences in food choices were extremely fun and tasty in the beginning but as time went by me and my family realized how unhealthy some items in the supermarket are for human health. For most Americans, food ideally means fast and delicious wonder without worrying about the consequences of what we put our bodies or in our environment. This film talks about a reality that the food industry does not want us to know and about the illusion of food choices that we have, which are basically the same food groups arranged in a multitude of different ways. Also, it talks about the reality of farm animals and what they go through before they end up on our plate and it is true even if we dine at the most expensive restaurants. This movie has difficult to digest information and the lowdown on why American agriculture is a source of envy for farmers all over the world because of how much yield is produced in the minimum of cost but it comes at a great cost to humanity. .
One of the first problems that we saw in the movie is Factory Farming. We saw how quickly a chicken is raised and full growth is achieved in 48 days instead of 90 days and it's pumped full of hormones and antibiotics and it puts on so much weight so quickly that the internal organs are unable to hold the weight. The chickens are living in deplorable conditions they are kept in tight compartments without light and barely enough space to move and they are standing in their own feces. Cows are fed a diet of dead chickens, corn or sometimes even cow meat to increase their body weight so more meat can be obtained from them. They are also kept in horrible conditions and are not allowed to roam around, they stand at the same position all day long covered in their own feces and the diet they are fed breeds harmful and antibiotic resistant strains of E.
