Food Inc.

During the last few weeks we have been exposed to a great quantity of information about how the world is shaped today. One of the most influential films was Food Inc. which reflected the truly industrial food conglomerate in which the american people are especially immersed in. In this alimentary system directed by enormous corporates is ruled by corruption and its a disgraceful truth that had been hidden to the consumers. This film relates to other previously reviewed films, such as Confessions of an Economic Hitman, in that they reflect the economical power that corporates maintain over the poor countries and the farmers to influence and shape the whole system into submission.

The corporates use the necessities of others to enforce abuse in which the country or producer do what the company says or they are just simply considered "non useful" for the company. This makes the company the "owner" of the farmers and the company decisions based on the debt that the company enforces they to acquire, either to maintain themselves with the "company's standards" or to invest it on their people. If either the farmer or the country omits the corporate orders, their rulers are assassinated or the farmer is finished his contract to the company.

The race issue is also involved in this cruel corporate system in which the poorest races such as latinos are hired to manage animals and vegetables. This is because they are illegal immigrants and they do not have to be paid the same amount as an average american worker would receive. Illegal immigrants can't protest the working conditions or form any type of syndicate because they can't have rights in america, which is beneficial for the company because it is less investment in their workers; less losses.
