Food, Inc. (2008) Soundboard Edit

A fast food nightmare may be getting worse

A new law was introduced in direct response

A very small number of companies.

Against labeling

All of the chickens will go to the plant

All those snack food calories are

Although it looks like a tomato,

And a strain called the E. coli 0157:h7

And ammonia hydroxide.

And can't take 'em.

And E. coli, which is a very common bug, evolves,

And engineer new foods

And get two small hamburgers for them

And having the worker do the same task

And Monsanto Technology versus Maurice Parr.

And ripened with ethylene gas.

And start looking for alternatives.

And there're only a few crops involved.

And they never told me that they were from Monsanto.

And this poor kid, he's just starting out

And you can break that down and reassemble it.

Basically you're treated as a human machine.

Because the company can do what it wants to do

Because then people would see the ugly truth

Because we used to think everything was healthy

Began actively recruiting in Mexico.

Being brutalized to get them to their feet for slaughter.

But I find it incredible that the FDA

But it would prohibit every grower in the country

But we were preaching to the convinced

Called New Alchemy Institute,

Certainly we're not gonna get rid of it

Clearly our current approach

Coke, Pepsi, Kellogg's, General Mills

Do you know that we don't go to Wal Mart?

Either you go to the market

Enough food and enough calories

Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant,

Every time one of these stories comes out,

For a while, we could sell grains

For new equipment,

From getting onto those carcasses?

From where it's being grown to these CAFOs.

Georgia, Utah, Kansas,

Harold Sinn?

Has on average 47,000 products.

Has some genetically modified ingredient.

He was not allowed to really drink water.

Here we are.

I can remember when the first prohibition

I have dreamed of the day

I have no desire to scale up or get bigger.

I talked to a young man just three days ago.

I was getting pretty good yield

In a case that allowed these companies

In our current economy

In our family with diabetes?

In the absence of any kind of government regulation

In the meat aisle, there are no bones anymore

In the past year alone, there have been

In the United States.

In their manure all day long.

In tremendous quantities.

In ways that are being deliberately hidden from us

Is cheapness everything that there is?

Is the biggest meat packing company in the history of the world

Is to go out there and speak about it.

It doesn't matter if the chickens get sick

It is nasty in here

It was inexpensive food, it tasted good

It will be seven years

It would be nice if y'all could see what we really do,

It's 75 gallons of oil

It's degrading

It's kind of a notional tomato.

It's really easy to get behind it,

It's really just three or four companies

It's the spinning of this pastoral fantasy

It's to come up some high tech fixes that allow the system to survive.

Justice Clarence Thomas was a Monsanto attorney.

Leads to problems.

Let me go to the top.

Look at the broccoli.

Make them successful, basically.

Maybe 300, 400 miles.

Monsanto falsely accused us of violating their patent

Monsanto had very close ties

Monsanto is a chemical company.

My family spent $400,000

Not only wants to allow the sale of meat from cloned animals

Not that one single item at the market.

Now are reticent to even talk with me.

Now they have to bus their workers

Of our air, our food and our water.

Of roads and train tracks

On consuming grass

One of the most dangerous jobs in the United States

Remains a hamburger and french fries.

Smithfield has mastered

So if one cow has it,

So that all the animals are sucked off

So their capacity to grow food

So we took him to the emergency room.

Sometimes it does feel like

Speeding up production,

That a high corn diet results in

That comes into their eyes,

That I'm encouraging the farmer to break the patent law

That peels back the curtain

That they feel sorry for me.

That they're supposed to be scrutinizing.

That this highly efficient machine

That we could be highly profitable.

That would not only put Moe out of business,

That's all I had to say

That's really what I am

The best soy milk in the entire world.

The companies keep the farmers under their thumb

The government's cracking down on the workers

The idea was that if a plant repeatedly failed these tests,

The industry changed the entire way that chicken are raised

The McDonald brothers had a very successful drive in,

The meat and poultry associations

The other cows will get it

The sodas are really cheap.

The speed of motors

The system gets more and more precarious.

The whole industrial food system

The world's running out of food

There are only a few companies involved

There is a spiderweb

There is an illusion of diversity.

There was a beef trust that wielded enormous power.

These regulatory agencies

They are, in effect, gaining control of food

They have managed to make it against the law

They have the same mentality towards workers

This is how they keep the farmers under control.

This is just mass production,

To eat well in this country costs more

To have no say in your business,

To prevent it from happening to other people

To shut down the plants.

To the Bush administration...

Today, the top four

Trying to develop food and waste treatment alternatives,

Until the day that they're slaughtered

Up to a 12 year high.

We are on record for the deposition of Maurice Parr

We can't let you do that.

We started to see blood in Kevin's diarrhea,

We're outsourcing

We're voting for local or not, organic or not.

We've never had this in agriculture

What the impact of one purchase order from Wal Mart is,

What's going on in the kitchen where their food is being prepared.

When Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle

Where's Chicago? Here's Chicago,

Which should really be called a food bill,

Which was a group of renegade biologists.

Who owns it? How are they making it?

With cheap American corn.

Without compromising the integrity

You can make maltodextrin

You would think it would be getting safer,

You'd only get two or three

You're gonna view that differently.

You've got a small group of multinational corporations

30% of our land base is being planted to corn.

Yes

'cause who knows a farmer anymore?
