Food Inc. Smells Suspiciously of Progaganda

If you get an uneasy feeling while watching the documentary “Food, Inc.” hopefully, you will recognize it as a symptom of someone trying to manipulate you.

Behind the shocking, and unrepresentative images of industrial food production there is a not so cleverly veiled agenda to make you fear your food and change the way you eat.

As one viewer noted, the problem with Food, Inc is that attempts to take the worst case examples in the modern food production system and turn it into political activism – and that makes it propaganda. Let’s face it; every industry has people/companies that make the other 98 percent look guilty by association.

In the case of modern agriculture and even the processing industry, this is a huge mistake because we have the most productive, safest and dependable food system in the world; one that happens to be the reason most of us are even alive to sit, popcorn-in-hand, in theatres and watch this film that is repulsive on several levels.

So if you are concerned about what you’re eating, go talk to some farmers. Get informed but don’t be seduced by the sensationalism that is Food, Inc.
