Food Inc.


I watched a film today which quite frankly shocked, disheartened and dismayed me. The true costs of corporate industry which now controls much of the food production in America. Small and medium hold farmers basically bullied and pushed out of their own businesses and livelihood's by powerful congress protected corporate industrialised food factories. What has and is still happening in America is also beginning to happen in Britain and Ireland. The difference being that the largest supermarket companies are controlling the farmers. many of whom, are paid a ridiculously low price for their produce. Both issues from each side of the Atlantic are threatening the health of consumers who are addicted to the low prices of supermarket produce to live. Especially low income families. These families are the many people who are suffering obesity, especially in their children.
