FOOD!

The whole purpose of this film was to introduce the importance of the food we eat on a daily basis. It showed, and sometimes didn't show, the source of what we purchase as consumers from the grocery store and how it got to be there. There were times where people were not too proud of what they did and were either never interviewed or were kept in the dark. Perhaps there was some law that didn't allow them to talk, but the employees/farmers were very aware of the power that corporations held. And what they were capable of doing. From shutting their farms down, to taking them to court and filing charges against them for using their products illegally. There was another part of the film that showed a mother who had lost a son due to some bad meat products at a fast food restaurant. This part was exceptionally effective because the ethos, pathos and logos was all implemented. The woman addressed the issue in a way that could apply to anyone, as readers/viewers. It had left such a great impression on me. I could never want or imagine what it must have felt to lose someone like that at such a young age.
