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。

I mean, the reasons that those calories are cheaper is because those are the ones we're heavily subsidizing.
And this is directly tied to the kind of agriculture that we're practicing and the kind of farm policies we have.
All those snack-food calories are the ones that come from the commodity crops-- from the wheat, from the corn and from the soybeans.
By making those calories really cheap, that's one of the reasons that the biggest predictor of obesity is income level.
Over the course of human history, we were struggling to make sure we had enough food and enough calories for a sizable percentage of the human race.
Now the problem is too many calories.
The industry blames obesity on a crisis of personal responsibility.
But when you're engineering foods you are pressing our evolutionary buttons.
The fact is we're hardwired to go for three tastes-- salt, fat and sugar.
These things are very rare in nature Now sugar is available 24/7 in tremendous quantities.
We're eating hundreds of pounds of the stuff a year.
This diet of high-fructose corn syrup and refined carbohydrates leads to these spikes of insulin and, gradually, a wearing down of the system by which our body metabolizes sugar.
My husband's diabetic.
One of my main concerns is he could lose his sight.
He does get into-- sometimes he's shaking, so I'm afraid that he's gonna start not being able to drive, 'cause that's what he does for a profession.
We have to consider his medicine.
What is it, $70?
about $130.
But he's on two different types of pills.
$100-and-something for one pill and then $100- and-something for another.
That takes a lot of our income away.
We're really tight from either paying for his medicine to be healthy or buying vegetables to be healthy.
So which one should we do?
It's hard to see my dad suffer with diabetes and stuff like that.
And it's really sad to see that my sister might have it.
