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。

Every time one of these stories comes out, America learns a little bit more-- what's going on in the kitchen where their food is being prepared.
And every time they turn away in revulsion and start looking for alternatives.
The irony is that the average consumer does not feel very powerful.
They think they are the recipients of whatever industry has put out there for them to consume.
Trust me, it's the exact opposite.
When we run an item past the supermarket scanner, we're voting for local or not, organic or not.
At Wal-Mart, we made a decision about a year ago to go through a process of becoming rBST-free in our milk supply.
We made that decision based on customer preference.
Individual consumers changed the biggest company on earth and in so doing, probably put the last nail in the coffin for synthetic growth hormone.
To eat well in this country costs more than to eat badly.
It will take more money and some people simply don't have it.
And that's one of the reasons that we need changes at the policy level, so that the carrots are a better deal than the chips.
People think "These companies are so big and so powerful, how are we ever going to change things?" But look at the tobacco industry.
It had huge control over public policy and that control was broken.
The battle against tobacco is a perfect model of how an industry's irresponsible behavior can be changed.
Imagine what it would be if, as a national policy, we said we would be only successful if we had fewer people going to the hospital next year than last year.
How about that for success?
The idea then would be to have such nutritionally dense unadulterated food that people who ate it actually felt better, had more energy, and weren't sick as much.
Now see, that's a noble goal.
I can't change the fact that Kevin's dead.
When you tell somebody you've lost a child, I really don't like that look of pity that comes into their eyes, that they feel sorry for me.
I can have a pity party all by myself very well, thank you.
I don't need it from other people.
What I need them to do is listen and help me effect a change.
You have to understand that we farmers, we're gonna deliver to the marketplace what the marketplace demands.
