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。

Corn is the great raw material.
You get that big fat kernel of starch and you can break that down and reassemble it.
You can make high-fructose corn syrup.
You can make maltodextrin and diglycerides and xanthan gum and ascorbic acid.
All those obscure ingredients on the processed food-- it's remarkable how many of them can be made from corn.
Plus, you can feed it to animals.
Corn is the main component in feed ingredients whether it's chicken, hogs, cattle-- you name it.
Increasingly, we're feeding the corn to the fish whether we're eating the tilapia or the farmed salmon.
We're teaching fish how to eat corn.
The fact that we had so much cheap corn really allowed us to drive down the price of meat.
I mean, the average American is eating over 200 lbs of meat per person per year.
我的意思是,美国人平均每人每年要吃200磅以上的肉。
That wouldn't be possible had we not fed them this diet of cheap grain.
如果我们不给他们吃这种廉价的谷物,那是不可能的。
Since you're selling corn at below the price of production, the feedlot operator can buy corn at a fraction of what it costs to grow, so that all the animals are sucked off of all the farms in the Midwest.
There is a spiderweb of roads and train tracks all around the country moving corn from where it's being grown to these CAFOs.
Cows are not designed by evolution to eat corn.
奶牛不是进化设计来吃玉米的。
They're designed by evolution to eat grass.
And the only reason we feed them corn is because corn is really cheap and corn makes them fat quickly.
Where are you putting your hand?
I'm actually inside the rumen-- that first compartment of the stomach.
我实际上在瘤胃里——胃的第一个隔间。
And it's-- it's not-- it's kind of hard to see.
You can see the liquid part here.
Wow.
- Does that hurt the cow?
- No.
There's microorganisms-- bacteria in the rumen, millions of 'em.
