Food Inc.

Watching Food Inc. to me was very very interesting. It had the chance to see it while I was in my high school nutrition ed class but I didn't really think about the movie when I watched it back then. I am happy I had this second opportunity to let it sink in.
The part in the movie that stuck out to me was the chicken and the large corporation (Tyson) that owns a lot of it. They showed the amount of growth hormones that were given to the chickens. It was ASTOUNDING! I mean these chickens were HUGE! It was really hard to see the chickens barely be able to walk and never even see the light of day. They would have thousand upon thousands of chickens crammed in these housing units and they could barely move, partly because of being fat and partly because it was so crammed. 
This movie exploits the large corporations treatment of animals, farmer/ cattle raisers/ small business. It also exploits the ways that our meat is created and how truly disgusting some of it is. Overall Food Inc. gets the job done well, and sends the message loud and clear.
