食品公司 Food, Inc. Movie Script

杰瑞发布于07 Nov 18:04

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。

There's antibiotics that's put into the feed and of course that passes through the chicken.
The bacteria builds up a resistance, so antibiotics aren't working anymore.
I have become allergic to all antibiotics and can't take 'em.
When it's dark inside the houses, the chickens lay down.
It's less resistance when they're being caught.
Traditionally, it's been African-American men.
Now we're seeing more and more Latino catchers-- undocumented workers.
From their point of view, they don't have any rights and they're just not gonna complain.
The companies like these kind of workers.
It doesn't matter if the chickens get sick.
All of the chickens will go to the plant for processing.
The companies keep the farmers under their thumb because of the debt that the farmers have.
To build one poultry house is anywhere from $280,000 to $300,000 per house.
建造一个家禽饲养场的费用从每所280000美元到300000美元不等。
And once you make your initial investment, the companies constantly come back with demands of upgrades for new equipment, and the grower has no choice.
一旦你进行了最初的投资,公司就会不断地要求升级新设备,种植者别无选择。
They have to do it or you're threatened with loss of a contract.
This is how they keep the farmers under control.
It's how they keep them spending money, going to the bank and borrowing more money.
The debt just keeps building.
To have no say in your business, it's degrading.
It's like being a slave to the company.
The idea that you would need to write a book telling people where their food came from is just a sign of how far removed we've become.
It seems to me that we're entitled to know about our food-- "Who owns it?
How are they making it?
Can I have a look in the kitchen?" When I wanted to understand the industrial food system, what I set about doing was very simple.
I wanted to trace the source of my food.
