Cheap processed food good? Good for other peoples pockets!


Ever wonder why its so cheap to buy a cheeseburger from your local fast food restaurant. Why is it that the meat you buy from your local market is processed by 3 major companies. Food Inc. was a true blind fold of my eyes for me and if you watch you will have the same surprised reaction I had. Big fast food companies really don’t show any interest in saying how there food is processed or how bad they are.
All these major companies are constantly chasing after good farmers who don’t treat there animal like there objects like the big companies do. Animals raised in the interest of companies suffer the worst treatment you can think of, for example cows who are suppose to be fed grass and who are born grass eaters, are being fed corn and kept in there own manure and make them really sick, they are treated like they have no feelings and are just part of the assembly line.
The workers who work for these major companies are also treated horribly they are exposed to so many dangers and infections they can catch from the animals they handle. The movie really shows how our food is being controlled by a handful of major companies like Tyson and Perdue, the food they handle costs the planet land and pollutes our world and to them is nothing but money and cost effectiveness and no concern for the world.
