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 something that's going on in the way that we live our lives, where we play, where we buy our food and the types of food that we're able to buy that is causing this epidemic.
It's not just our community.
It's not just Baldwin Park.
It's everywhere.
How many of us know one person in our family with diabetes?
How about two?
Three?
Keep your hand-- It used to be that type 2 diabetes only affected adults.
And now it's affecting children at epidemic proportions.
Everything we've done in modern industrial agriculture is to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper.
Nobody's thinking about E. coli, type 2 diabetes and the ecological health of the whole system.
We're outsourcing autonomous farmer decision making-- we're outsourcing that to corporate boardrooms in big cities where people make decisions and don't live with the consequences of those decisions.
Everything is grass based.
You know, they don't eat corn, dead cows or chicken manure like they feed right here in the valley-- or dead chickens.
They actually eat grass, forage-- you know, clover, grass, herbs.
They're herbivores.
If they were eating corn, you're gonna have to harvest that corn, transport that corn, then you're gonna have to haul all that manure somewhere that comes out the back end.
Here... it's-- there-- there is the whole thing.
I mean the cow is-- she's fertilizing.
She's mowing. We don't have to spread any manure.
We don't have to harvest it-- she's harvesting it.
It's all real time-- real solar dollars.
The industrial food system gradually became so noisy, smelly, not a person-friendly place, that the people who operate those plants don't want anybody to go there, because then people would see the ugly truth.
When that occurred, then we lost all the integrity and all the accountability in the food system.
If we put glass walls on all the megaprocessing facilities, we would have a different food system in this country.
