Food Inc is a documentary on the food production industry in the United States of America. Most companies mentioned in the 2 hour film are non-exsistant in Canada, however, Canadian companies follow the same idea. Food Inc © CBC Canada.
Considering the talk against mass produced food is ILLEGAL in some states, any discussion made in this topic, I posted CBC's copyright to the movie. In order to avoid unwanted lawsuits. Discussion of this applies to Canada, and the U.S.A. Possibly Europe.
Food Inc was a 2 hour documentary I just watched on CBC, and the tl:dr of this topic will be "That major food companies (i.e. Tyson) are cruel and unjusticed."
Fast Food
Everyone knows about McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Everyone has eaten from one of these resturants by the time they are 7. They are the largest buyers of mass produced beef. But which resturant.
McDonalds.
McDonalds is the largest buyer of:
•Chicken
•Beef
•Tomatos
•Lettuce
•Pickles
•Even Apples
McDonalds also started the way slaughterhouses work.
The first McDonalds shops hired people to do 1 simple job. Such as fliping burgers, squirting ketchup, laying pickles, etc. This meant that the company could pay a low wage.
Slaughterhouses work the same way.
Each employee that works with meat does a single task. For low wage.
Farming
During this show, I couldn't believe on how chickens are grown. It's simply inhumane. They live their whole life without seeing ANY sunlight. And it's not even profitable. $18,000 a year. My dad makes that in 2 months. Anywho, each house contains about 300,000 chickens, that grow twice as large, in half of the time. These geneticly modified chickens grow in 45-49 days. Not the natural 70-75. They can't even walk 5 steps without having to sit because their organs can't keep up. The meat they produce is bland.
I think I hit 20k limit
doubt it though
