The Revival Pt.20: Food Inc and the "Ugly Truth"

Food Inc. explores the meat and poultry industry in a “behind the scenes” format and exposes the “ugly truth” concerning food production in the United States. It takes consumers into the plants and the farms of such companies as Tyson and Purdue (available in most stores in the US) and shows how they treat their animals in an inhumane fashion. Food Inc. also shows how food is now being engineered in order to produce mass amounts, which is compromising the quality of the food that is being consumed. The documentary points out that livestock are being fed various chemicals in order to grow at an increased rate for mass production. It also suggests corruption within Monsanto and the FDA, as well as the connections they have to previous administration in our country.
