Food Inc

The documentary Food Inc was very interesting. It put a whole new look on the industries that make up our nutritional status. It was an eye opener, I could relate to and disagreed with some of the acquisations made toward the beef industry. The showing of this video was perfect timing for the comments that I had in class, just a few days after we watched the movie Food Inc in class a video of the Beef Industry's response to the video was aired. We are in the process of watching it in class, but it is getting close to the end of the year and is very hectic!! I watched it on my own to scope out what the main points were. I really liked the way the response was set up. At the start it is rather boring to listen to the introduction, but after it gets into the main points it is interesting. It shows clips of the movie and then flips back to the panel of people representing the different areas of the beef industry and there reactions to it. In addition they pointed out more neutral points of the video. They started with one of the more famous pictures from the video, the one with the business men walking in there suits and breifcases to the factory. Our class talked about this shot quite a bit, it brought up many different interesting aspects. Overall this video taught me many things, not only with the different industries and the things that go into our food, but with how if you believe in something there is something out there that your can use to stand up against it. Luckily this retaliation video came out at the perfect time. But, in the end this has been a positive learning experience for me.
