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。

People that were friends of mine now are reticent to even talk with me.
We've been friends for 50 years, and now we can hardly be seen together.
Right.
I don't think I'm really guilty, but it was cheaper to pay the fine than it was to try to fight it.
- It gnaws at you... - Sure.
...because if you think you're right at something, but yet you admit you're wrong.
Monsanto falsely accused us of violating their patent and breach of contract.
None of it was true.
You go into a market, you find a dominant farmer and if you can ruin them, you scare the rest of them to following the line.
My family spent $400,000 fighting the battle, pretrial.
And we were told it would take another million to take the thing to trial.
We settled out of court.
The way the system appeared to work to me was Lady Justice had the scales and you piled cash on the scales and the one that piled the most cash on the scales, hired the most experts and was most willing to tell the biggest lies, that was the winner.
That seems to be how our justice system functions now.
It's terrible.
It's terrible.
How can a farmer defend himself against a multinational corporation like Monsanto?
I talked to a young man just three days ago.
They'd been to his farm, you know?
And this poor kid, he's just starting out.
His fiance was there.
I talked to her and tried to give them the best advice I could.
Unfortunately the best advice I could give them was "Try to get out of this thing with your skin intact.
Don't fight 'em.
You've got to roll over and give them what they want, 'cause you can't defend yourself." In the case of Monsanto, their control is so dominant.
