Food, Inc. shows how in the past 50 years the US agriculture industry has come to control the nation's food supply for maximum profits though feed lots, genetically modified organisms, lobbied legislation, exploited labor, and legal threats. Food, Inc. also explains how Monsanto is able to maintain their monopoly over seed production with legal action ans revolving door politics. More revelations include how the few largest chicken producers control the individual farmer through debt and contracts via a system reminiscent of the company stores of coal mining regions. Farmer Joel Salaatin's view on the link between how we treat our food, each other, and the global community is particularly insightful. This film's use of logos was especially apparent but it seemed to work better when it was paired with ethos, such as with the mother of the dead child petitioning congress with statistics. With these two aspects put together, it was very persuasive to me and makes me want to think more about when and what I buy. The use of hidden cameras in the meat factories was very insightful as well as the interview with Farmer Joel as he and his crew prepared and packaged their chicken on the spot.
