In the classroom, we watched a film called , Food Inc, Robert Keener reveals the truth about the way that American food can be inproperly produced. Throughout the film, Keener exposes many of the wrong doings of the American ways of getting food. In the film they showed how throughout the many decades how the ways of producing food changes. They showed live slaugher house action which to me was rather disurbing and was very hard to watch. I think the fact that i cringed away from watching that was Keener's idea. He wanted the viewers/audience to feel an emotion attached with watching his film. Another danger that was showen was possible diseases that can outbreak when unsanitary conitions are present in a food producing enviroment. At the end of the film they had many diffrent ways that consumers could help the food industry from leading down a unhealthy path. Such as buying organic and making sure you know where your food came from.
After watching Food Inc, we were able to choose a non-fiction text and I chose Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. I choose chapter eight called The Most Dangerous Job. In the chapter it disucssed slaughter houses and how the danger and unsaftey is not only on the animals but is also on the workers. Meat packing industry was also talked about how in the olden days it was acceptable to have workers limbs in there. Where now there is the FDA which makes it a little safer but consumers would be supprised by what is actually in their meat. The chapter in all discussed how the meat packing industry is unfair to their workers and untrue to their cosumers.
