食品公司 Food, Inc. Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2022-11-07

The current method of raw food production is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since the 1950s. The production of food overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand years prior. Controlled primarily by a handful of multinational corporations, the global food production business - with an emphasis on the business - has as its unwritten goals production of large quantities of food at low direct inputs (most often subsidized) resulting in enormous profits, which in turn results in greater control of the global supply of food sources within these few companies. Health and safety (of the food itself, of the animals produced themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines, and of the consumers actually eating the food) are often overlooked by the companies, and are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences. 目前的生食生产方法在很大程度上是对20世纪50年代以来快餐业增长的回应。自那时以来,食品生产的总体变化比几千年前更为剧烈。主要由少数几家跨国公司控制的全球食品生产业务——重点是该业务——将以低直接投入(通常是补贴)生产大量食品作为其不成文的目标,从而带来巨大的利润,这反过来导致对这几家公司内全球食品供应的更大控制。健康和安全(食品本身、自己生产的动物、流水线上的工人以及实际食用食品的消费者的健康和安全)常常被公司忽视,而政府为了提供廉价食品而忽视了这些负面后果。

If you want to be in production agriculture, you're gonna be in bed with Monsanto.
They own the soybean.
They are going to control that product from seed to the supermarket.
They are, in effect, gaining control of food.
There has been this revolving door between Monsanto's corporate offices and the various regulatory and judicial bodies that have made the key decisions.
Justice Clarence Thomas was a Monsanto attorney.
克拉伦斯·托马斯法官是孟山都律师。
That wouldn't be such a big deal if it weren't for one court case that really decided this whole seed-saving issue.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion in a case that allowed these companies to prevent farmers from saving their own seed.
Monsanto had very close ties to the Bush administration... and the Clinton administration.
This goes to why we haven't had much political debate over this radical change to our food system.
For the last 25 years, our government has been dominated by the industries that it was meant to be regulating.
The challenge is as soon as you have people with expertise in industry, they may turn out to be very good regulators.
It's really about what interests they decide to represent.
You're talking about power-- centralized power and that power is being used against the people who are really producing the food like the farmers.
It's being used against the workers who work for these companies and it's being used against consumers who are deliberately being kept in the dark about what they're eating, where it comes from and what it's doing to their bodies.
Good afternoon, Madame Chair and members.
SB-63 is a consumer right-to-know measure.
It simply requires that all foods that are cloned must be labeled as cloned foods.
These cloned animals are a fundamentally new thing.
But I find it incredible that the FDA not only wants to allow the sale of meat from cloned animals without further research, but also wants to allow the sale of this meat without any labeling.
How many witnesses in opposition, please?
Noelle Cremers with California Farm Bureau.
And if I can point out-- the reason that we are concerned with labeling is it creates unnecessary fear in a consumer's mind.
Until the industry has an opportunity to educate why we want to use this technology and the value of the technology, we don't feel that consumers just having a warning label will help them.
These companies fight tooth and nail against labeling.
