Food companies are intentionally keeping consumers blinded about how food is processed and produced. But they need to be exposed and the public has to know what is going on behind closed doors. If there is any chance of changing the way people eat and finding alternatives for them to make better informative decisions on what they choose to eat. The consumers ultimately need to be informed about the food industry. So the companies and the government can feel pressure from the consumers to make changes to the laws and regulations regarding their food and health.
The book goes into more detail about certain topics ,whereas the movie just mentioned or touched on something about it. There's a lot more the book informs the reader about than the movie. I liked that the movie provided visuals that the book might have made hard to imagine while reading. For example like what goes on in a slaughterhouse and what a feedlot looks like and how the animals are treated. The book tells it( describes it), but the movie showed it.
The movie made me realize all the things that are wrong with the food industry. How there are only a few large companies that control they way that everyone eats. Who are deliberately keeping consumers in the dark about their products because if we knew then we wouldn't want to buy their products anymore which would be bad for business. There needs to be new ways of thinking about food ways and where our food comes from in order for changes to be made.
