HW 10 - Food, Inc. Response

          The main ideas of this film were to show the people what is in there food, where there food comes from and what they can do to be healthier.  It showed the evils of the corn industry.  People think corn is a healthy vegetable, but there are dark secrets to this corn.  To farmers, they prize corn like we prize money.  Farmers give corn to the factories to be processed, farmers know what the factories do to our corn, but they don't care.  The only thing that these farmers care about, is the money that they get afterwards.  They think we are just walking bags of money just handing them a piece every time we leave the supermarket,
          The movie showed a lot of things that the book couldn't show inside of your head.  The movies showed the people's on the farms reaction when in the chicken places where all of the chicken were bunched up.  They showed how it looks inside and people's thoughts based upon what they do everyday.  The book just told us how the chicken were living when they were inside of those pens before being slaughtered.  The movie also showed ho the animals were slaughtered with actual graphic videos, were the book just showed them holding up a chicken being prepared to get slaughtered, and after the slaughtering already happened, with the gets and how they get rid of all the extra parts of animals.
          I already knew that they put chemicals inside there food to make it last longer, but after watching the movie, I never knew that the chemicals were this dangerous to our bodies.  These chemicals aren't 100 percent safe.  Some kids are getting bigger by eating these chemicals, and some people are dying.  The fat in this food plus the chemicals when eaten gets stuck around your heart (the fat parts) and forces your heart to pump harder to get more blood.  This results in a lot of people having heart attacks.
