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。

We have allowed ourselves to become so disconnected and ignorant about something that is as intimate as the food that we eat.
What a difference this is to be out here in the fresh air, sunshine, birds singing in the trees, you know?
But you see, according to the U.S.D.A, this is unsanitary because it's open to the air.
They tried to close us down.
One of the biggest showdowns we had was when they tried to close us down because this was unsanitary.
Can you imagine?
So we had them cultured at a local microbiology lab.
Ours averaged and the ones from the store averaged 3600.
Of course, those have been through Ours haven't seen any chlorine.
A lot of people wonder "Is this real?
I mean, can you really feed the world?" That whole thing is such a specious argument because, yes, we're every bit as efficient, especially if you plug in all of the inefficiencies of the industrial system.
I've had people come up at farmer's markets and say "What?
$3 a dozen for eggs?" And they're drinking a 75 can of soda.
Hey, pig.
Hey, piggles.
Hey, pigs.
I'm always struck by how successful we have been at hitting the bull's-eye of the wrong target.
I mean we have learned-- for example, in cattle we have learned how to-- how to plant, fertilize and harvest corn using global positioning satellite technology, and nobody sits back and asks "But should we be feeding cows corn?" We've become a culture of technicians.
We're all into-- we're all into the how of it and nobody's stepping back and saying "But why?" I mean, a culture that just views a pig as a pile of protoplasmic inanimate structure to be manipulated by whatever creative design that humans can foist on that critter will probably view individuals within its community and other cultures in the community of nations with the same type of disdain, disrespect and controlling-type mentality.
The town where the plant is located is a small town called Tar Heel in the middle of a very economically-depressed area.
Smithfield has mastered the art of picking and choosing a workforce that they can exploit, initially from the local workforce-- the poor whites, the poor black.
They went through that workforce very quickly.
Now they have to bus their workers all the way from Dentsville, South Carolina, to Clinton, North Carolina.
You have to draw a circle 100 miles in diameter, and that's where all of your workers are coming from.
They have the same mentality towards workers as they do towards the hogs.
