                                                 FOOD  IN 2

In the Food Inc movie the author is trying  to make us  understand how  thousands of products are  treated  by the food industry  before people buy  to  consume and not only products, but employees and animals too.

After I watched  Food In movie,  I felt really bad about how people work and struggle to bring food at home. Imaginably we spent money in food to be nourished, but  fruits, vegetables, meats, found  at the market very nice wrapped, claiming to be healthy  and announced in expensive commercials have a little or none nutrient.  Instead they are full of the pesticides and fertilizers and in some cases they are also contaminated by bacteria that kill humans.  Similarly, meats come from animals raised by hormones and chemicals and fed with corn to make them fat quickly.  Humans have no compassion, with animals suffer unnecessarily.

On the other hand, Immigrants who came to America looking for a better future have become the best work sources of these industries.  Since employees are undocumented, employers have created worker conditions to abuse their rights. They employ illegal immigrants, who allow them to avoid compensations for the numerous injuries.  Industries only want to have a highest production at the lowest cost possible.

 I believe that the right of food is a human right as any other right. Food represents plants and animals that God created to survive and none has the right to change it. Although, the food industry in association with politics are keeping controlling all the food production by modifying every day the natural system to accomplish their intensive production, we are the ones who have to be alert when we choose what to eat and what to avoid, be healthy and choose organic food would be a good way to avoid cancers diseases.
