Food, Inc.

(1/5) > >>

glyphic:
Has anyone seen this? It doesn't go too deep into the insanity of our meat packing and crop production industries, but I was still filled with impotent rage after watching.

sean:
saw this, uh, i think on sunday actually. i was pretty rageful too after watching it.

pretty good film i thought. touches on a bunch of things in the food industry that are fucked, like the whole thing about soy beans. really, fuck that.

michaelicious:
What did it say about soy beans?

sean:
long story short michael there exists a company (i can't remember their name off the top of my head, it starts with an M) that genetically modified soybeans to work with their brand of fertilizer and practically all soybean farmers bought them. the company also somehow copyrighted or somehow owns the legal rights to that gene and now has the ability to prosecute farmers for fucking seed saving by claiming they are stealing their product or something.

i could get into the specifics more if you would like (i had known about this before i watched food inc.) its really fucked up.

pilsner:
The company is called Monsanto.  Your description is approximately correct.
