The film Food Inc. is very well made and informative. It
tells about very important issues in the food industry and exposes people that
have caused the problem in the industry. Drama and emotions play a big role in
the film, but the context of the terrible thins the food industry is doing, the
drama is appropriate. The film is very effective in making people want to take
action, which is important. One thing that could have been better though was if
Food Inc. described exactly how consumers can make a difference. It is hard for
some under privileged families to shop well even if they wanted to so what can
they do?
Food Inc. is a very bias film that tells the sob story of
one side of an unimportant issue. The film is just trying to scare consumers
into believing that the food industry is a terrible and corrupt thing. Really
though, the consumers are the problem because the companies just try to produce
a lot of what is needed in the easiest way possible. Food Inc. also tries to
use sob stories, but in reality it is a very small fraction of people who are
affected with diseases such as e coli, so it is really nothing to worry about.
All this film is good for is getting people worked up and worried about issues
that aren't very important and that will be taken care of by the companies.
Also if there are people struggling to get what they need or want that is there
own fault and if they live right they will be able to work themselves up in the
world.
Food Inc. is bias and skewed towards one perspective, but it
is informative about that perspective. Both sides are important so it would be
better if they were shown, but what is show is better than nothing.
Unfortunately the film is over dramatic, which makes people want to take
action, but their actions may be too strong. It is important to take action in
order to create change, but Food Inc. works people up an unnecessary amount.
The viewers may just become agitated and stressed over the issues which only
hurts them more.
