Animals you can find in farms.

  Happy Meal toys from McDonald's drive kids to their restaurants When I was in 4th grade, McDonald's Happy Meals were my life. The food was good, but the reason why my mom was dragged to the restaurant was because of the special toys hidden deep down within those bright-red boxes. Throughout my childhood years I failed to realize the main purpose of the excitement that waited for me inside those boxes.

  In the documentary film Food Inc., viewers were taken on a field trip, showing us the truth on how our Happy Meals are made and how McDonald's' food eventually get inside of us.

When McDonald's first began, it was a regular restaurant. In the 1950's, restaurants were all very similar, and McDonald's had food delivery on roller skates. One day the owners decided to cut costs and created a new process. This new process created a new idea on how restaurants of the future are going to work. In their new process, the McDonald brothers introduced the factory way of making food.

The factory way had less workers with lower pay. This new way helped out the McDonald brothers to make  more money by making more food at a lower cost. McDonald's became a very rich company by making these changes it is today.

  four companies that controls 80%-90% of the American beef supply which are Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National beef.

Brands and labels place in meat products and dairy production are misleading. They're misleading by the labels they write like "Cage free", "humanly raised", and "Farm raise".

Chickens are different now then it was in 1950's. Two thing that change in the chickens are that they grow in a faster rate and they breast are bigger then before to have more meat to eat.

Vince Edward a worker for Tyson's company didn't give the filmmakers for Food Inc. permission to enter the barn because Tyson didn't allowed it. They didn't allow them because if we saw what was happening to the chickens we wouldn't want to eat the chicken anymore.

The United States has about 30% of land mass used to grow corn. The government policy plays a role  in making corn such a dominant crop. The government gives money to farmers so they grow the corn and sell it to Tyson, Cargill, Smithfield, and more so they can feed their animals.

Large meat suppliers are interested in lobbying the government for subsidies for corn because they use corn to feed their animals so they can sell all the meat they get from the animals.

Three productions that are partially made of corn are ketchup, jelly, and fast-food. These product either have corn syrup or just corn in them.

Cows and others animals were just meant to grass. The problem as a result to feeding animals corn like cows is that they can get E.Coli. Some Cows get E.Coli by eating nothing but corn when they should be eating grass.

In 2001 Kevin Kowalcyk a young boy died of hemolytic-uremic syndrome caused by eating ground beef contaminated with E.Coli. The government is responsible because they are allowing cows to eat corn not grass which makes them get E.Coli.

Some meat company's use ammonia in meats to prevent E.Coli contamination. Ammonia is also use in cleaning products in homes, cars, and offices.

The cheapest food they're is, is the dollar menu from fast food restaurants. They're the cheapest because it doesn't cost and take much time to make the ingredients which is mostly corn.

Obesity, diabetes, and poverty are all linked. For poor family's  and people they see junk food as the cheapest food. Chips, sodas, candy, etc. are more cheaper then fruits and vegetables. They can buy more junk food then healthily food which leads to obesity's.

According to the USDA Joel Salatin's  a farmer farm is considered "unsanitary." The USDA is wrong Joel took one of  his chickens to a lab and tested it against a big chicken company's and results were that Joel's chickens had very less bacteria then the other chicken company. Joel's had less then 390 and the chickens company were in the thousands.

Large meat packing plant gets most of their works from Mexico. They get their work from Mexico by putting up ads around the places since most Mexicans don't have jobs and need money.

Cheap cost of industrial food are "dishonest" and misleading. Industrial foods don't want people to know the environmental cost, health cost, and societal cost.

Many corporations are protected by laws. The laws protects corporations by not allowing people to bad about their foods. People are not allowed the say and or post anything bad about any company. If someone does they can be sue by that company they talk bad about.
