Andy, one of the cooks, left the meeting angrily and calling the meeting “almighty bullshit.”

She begins by listing out unhealthy foods, which have the effect of, "human discomfort" to shift toward the description of her working environment. Ehrenreich heavily depends on imagery to vividly capture the conditions she was working through. She first illustrates the kitchen of the restaurant, Jerry's, being filled with, "bizarre smells combining the edible and the offal" The negative connotation of the word bizarre indicates that the environment of Jerry's is displeasing. Ehrenreich later describes the disgusting conditions of the floors in the restaurant. She compares the careful plan of walking through the kitchen to an imprisoned woman who walks around with, "leg irons". This comparison explains the unfortunate cautious decisions the staff of Jerry's have to take in order to get from one end of the kitchen to the other without falling. In the middle of the introduction to her research project, Ehrenreich provides another list of disgusting conditions in the kitchen of Jerrys. The description of the sinks in the kitchen, "are clogged with scraps of lettuce, decomposing lemon wedges, water-logged toast crusts". The diction used to describe the food gives a negative connotation and an unappetizing environment for a restaurant. Towards the end of the paragraph, the extremely gross environmental conditions of Jerry's gets worse. Ehrenreich

In the documentary, Food Inc., we get an inside look at the secrets and horrors of the food industry. The director, Robert Kenner, argues that most Americans have no idea where their food comes from or what happens to it before they put it in their bodies. To him, this is a major issue and a great danger to society as a whole. One of the conclusions of this documentary is that we should not blindly trust the food companies, and we should ultimately be more concerned with what we are eating and feeding to our children. Through his investigations, he hopes to lift the veil from the hidden world of food.

The Deadly Migias cooking program is enabling the Indigenous women to not only develop healthier lifestyles, it is changing their perspectives and attitudes of nutrition. According to Brimblecombe (2014 pp.392) traditionally knowledge about food is passed from adults to children in their community. Children grow up learning from their families and the strong influence of the family environment. Through these relationships they were able to develop their knowledge on food, food preferences and eating, and this was generally the role of the mother and grandmother in the family. The Deadly Migias cooking program the women are able to become confident again in their knowledge of these “new foods” and once again be able to take this information
The film Food Inc., like many other films of its category is not so much of an informative documentary, rather more of a slanderous exposé which blows the lid off of the food industry and its operations. To say that the film is neutral and tends towards more of an educative approach would be a misinterpretation to say the least. Throughout the entire movie it is always evident that the movie aims not solely to educate its audience about the truth of their food, but to convert the misinformed and inspire a rebellion against food industry practices. The movie does this through a tactful approach of bombarding its audience with gruesome clips, facts and testimonial story lines. The film asserts it claim through a thrilling critique of the horrific meat production process which is most prevalent in the U.S food industry and its impact on humans and the environment, while extoling alternative practices which seem to be more sustainable and humane, yet are underutilized. The film goes on to highlight the different players in the food politics arena, emphasizing the role that government agencies play. Also the film divulges the reality that is the monopolization of the food industry by big multinational corporations such as Monsanto Company, Tyson Food, Perdue Farms, Smithfield Foods, etc.
Food Inc. is a very informative and eye-opening film. The intended audience are those who eat unhealthily in America and all around the world. The film is based in America and it displays what companies put in their food before it goes in our mouths. It uses actual examples to display this, like a boy who died from E-Coli from a burger. The main message that the authors Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan are trying to portray is that we should think before we put something into our mouths about how that food has been treated prior to this.
For example, is there a bottleneck operation in your production process that you can expand cheaply? What is the effect of adding another oven? How much would you be willing to pay to rent an additional oven?
As I sit and wait for a hint of inspiration from the sounds in my ear piece to give line with the bottomless void of hope. Finally, someone familiar walks through the door at Panera Bread. My past walks through the front door.
Body mass index, or BMI, is used by doctors and health physicians to measure excessively high levels of body fat in relation to lean body mass in an individual. Having a BMI ratio that is considered above average or too high normally denotes persons at risk to several health adversities such as heart attacks, liver damage, diabetes, and even more widespread, obesity. In 2005, the United States Department of Health and Human Services estimated that over half of the adult American population was either overweight or obese, and many of these health concerns were correlated with a person’s diet and type of food consumption. In an attempt to assign blame for the cause, political and social commentators’ claim that long standing farm subsidies on particular food commodities correlate with rising obesity trends in America. In a documentary titled Food, Inc., opened to audience in 2008, award winning filmmaker Robert Kenner argues that current agricultural policies on these subsidized food commodities are allowing major food corporations to mass produce products that negatively affect the health of consumers nationwide. He contends that commodity crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans are heavily subsidized by the government to produce snack foods that are high in calorie content but low in cost, becoming the prime choice for Americans looking for cheap and readily available foods to eat. Kenner believes that government subsidies need to either be
