Food, Inc. Response

1. Please summarize the main ideas of the film in a single paragraph succinct precis.

In Food, Inc. the director uses both authors of Omnivores Dilemma, Michael Pollen and Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser to tackle the main issues about how food in the united states is given to consumers, and not being told from what and how they're made and processed. The movie was pretty on point with the book Omnivore’s Dilemma, but missed a few key elements, there were some parts of the book that weren’t supposed to be seen as happy and nice, but instead nightmarish and scary, but in the movie it was happy. For example when the movie was on the topic of organic foods.

2. What does the movie offer that the book didn't? What does the book offer that the movie didn't?

The movie gave viewers a more positive feeling about the secrets of our food, while in Omnivores Dilemma, it was hard to want to eat something, even though Pollen repeats many times in the book that he's not trying to change peoples eating habits, but it's somewhat hard not to do.

3. What insights or questions or thoughts remain with you after watching this movie? What feelings dominate your response? What thoughts?

The movie left me with very few questions, but did leave me thinking about a few things for instance, why didn't the movie change some of the authors views, and didn't go by what the book fully said, why didn't the authors cover that when they spoke in the movie?
