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。

It seems like such a clear-cut, common sense type thing.
- How are things going?
- Fine fine.
We've been working for six years and it still hasn't passed.
I sense that there may be an opportunity-- an enhanced opportunity-- to get this signed into law this time.
I think that from the standpoint of the consumer, a lot of people would support the idea of paying a little more if they could be guaranteed a higher standard of safety.
- Yeah.
- But I also know that there are other players - in the food production chain... - We know.
...that tend to worry about that, because it's gonna be seen as an add-on to their costs.
I think the advantage here is-- Sometimes it does feel like industry was more protected than my son.
That's what motivated me to become an advocate.
In the past year alone, there have been a multitude of food-borne illness outbreaks which have resulted in significant losses.
Clearly our current approach to food oversight and protection is not meeting the needs of American families.
It's really hard for me to tell Kevin's story.
But the only way I'm going to be able to prevent it from happening to other people is to go out there and speak about it.
Yeah.
Six are elementary school students, one is a sibling, and there's another one in another county in Kentucky, so... It will be seven years since my son died.
All I wanted the company to do was say "We're sorry.
We produced this defective product that killed your child, and this is what we're going to do to make sure it doesn't happen again." That's all we wanted, and they couldn't give us that.
The industrial food system is always looking for greater efficiency, but each new step in efficiency leads to problems.
If you take feedlot cattle off of their corn diet, give them grass for five days, they will shed 80% of the E. coli in their gut.
But of course that's not what the industry does.
The industry's approach is-- when it has a systematic problem like that-- is not to go back and see what's wrong with the system, it's to come up some high-tech fixes that allow the system to survive.
The 5x5 product surge tank-- low level. Low level.
This is our operations center.
