Food Inc./食品公司

This movie disclosed a series of shocking serious consequences when the production of foods transferred to a kind of industry, rather than a kind of agriculture. I had known many of the facts discovered in the movie, but I was still surprised to find that how vulnerable our food system could be.

In modern society, the pursuit to efficiency (profit) has become the most important for all the food suppliers. To chase more profit, they created the food system to supply more and cheaper food. However, under the condition lacking strong and enough safety laws, the food industry, like the other industries, brought us many social problems. The threat brought by food industry is more dangerous, because it may kill tens of thousands of people fast.

As developing towards a modern society, China comes across more and more food problems nowadays. There are always news reports on contaminated food in newspapers or the Internet from time to time. Some say that the lack of food safety law should be responsible for that, however, this movie reminded us that the procedure of industrialization should also be one of the criminals.
