Food Inc.
Over the past couple of days, we have watched the film, Food Inc. This film takes an in depth look at America’s industry and the terrible but legal way our food is genetically engineered. The purpose of this film was to shock every American with facts about the food they consume on a daily basis. The film had specific points of view that everyone might not agree with and also a few topics that stood out to me.
Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life?
I think animals have the right to a certain quality of life. I believe any and all animals have the same right to life as any other. In most cases, the animals shown in Food Inc. are mistreated to a degree that people are harmed from it. Therefore, the right should be given. Animal abuse is real but all changes in the sense that this is food production not pets.
Do people have the right to know what is in their food?
I believe people have every right to know what is in their food because of all the deaths that have happened. I think that companies do not want us to know what is in our food due to how cruel they treat their animals. Cheap preservatives like corn are being excessively added to our foods. People also have every right to know what is in their food due to contamination. In the film, a mother lost her little boy from e.coli contracted from eating a hamburger. This resulted from the cows being fed cheap filler food. The film also shows meat packers using ammonia to cleanse meat meant for human consumption.
Who is responsible for keeping our food safe?
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for keeping our food safe. Not only are they responsible for providing safe food to eat, but they are responsible for ensuring the safety of our food supply. They are also responsible for frequent inspections to make sure our food is safe to consume.
Should access to healthy foods be a right to everyone in the United States?
Healthy eating should be a right, we should have access to it, and
