WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste Management, Environment, and Human Health
Part 1: Documentary Food. Inc.
Food. Inc. is an American documentary that shows what it takes the food we eat to be on our tables. It explores the processes through which our food comes from the plants or animals to our plates. The message conveyed in the movie is quite alarming since the food labels and charts shown on the product descriptions do not appear as shocking as the processes through which they come to the sale display shelves. The consumers are unaware of the procedures and food industry practices that the food has been gone through as the company owners have modified ways scientifically rather than keeping them organic and close to nature (Shanbaum, 2016).
The film provides evidence in different categories, such as the industrial production of meat portrayed as inhumane for the animals and human consumption, environmentally unsustainable, and economically difficult in its management. The industrial production of grains, which should be organic as they are obtained from plants, is also depicted as unethical, particularly for corn and soybeans.

The filmmakers goal has been achieved since they unveil the realities of food farming that the consumers are being kept in the dark. It is the right of the consumers to know what type of food they are eating and where it comes from, apart from only the limited details and food nutrition charts displayed on the food packaging.

The government should be extra-vigilant to provide extra details on the nutrition charts of the food packets kept on the supermarket shelves so that the customers should discern what type of food they are taking inside their bodies, and even if it is healthy enough to be purchased or not.
The supporting evidence of the fact that food farming has taken heinous turns for making voluminous produce to meet the superfluous demands of the consumers as quickly as possible, the movie shows how Tyson has re-shaped the production of chicken that can grow in lesser time with fuller breasts (Thompson, 2016). Also, the chickens are farmed in offensive conditions that are highly unethical for animal farming.
Compared with the documentary Harvest of Shame in the 1960s, much of the conditions are still the same since Harvest of Shame showed that the African American workers worked in second-rated conditions and earned quite low. Their income levels defined the quality of food they consumed that was inferior as well. The children and families suffered due to this crisis which is similarly shown in Food. Inc. as well.…
