1. I take the statement to be admittance or bringing to light how a lot of times what we are eating isn't always 100% authentic, and by saying they are producing "food" not just "chicken" they are going for flavor and not always authenticity.
2. When we are eating so much of one thing we aren’t getting all of the different nutrients we need to lead a health and full life.
3. I feel this statement is very true to society today. Dollar and value menus are perfect examples of it. The fact that you can get a larger quantity for paying a lot less is a necessity to many people. When he says, “we don’t understand the price that’s being paid,” it shows that consumers aren’t always aware of work conditions and production.
4. It’s hard to say that price should or shouldn’t be the driving force in the industry. Like in the numerous examples we’ve seen and read about, the large corporations are making billions by selling such a large quantity at discounted prices, and we (consumers) are the beneficiaries because it isn’t taking as much of a toll on our wallet. But, like Taco Bell, producers are getting shafted. On the opposite end, as cheap as this food is, we know that it isn’t too healthy. Expanding on this, if you want to find healthier diets, you are likelier to need to spend more money; money which some people aren’t privileged to.
5. The thought of this is gut-wrenching to me, and I’m lucky enough to not have many traditions that are based off finances. If I was told that’s run in my family for generations could no longer be practiced then I’d be lost. But more importantly you’d feel for the previous family members as well.
6. It almost puzzles me as to why many producers don’t want to advertise what is in their products. Maybe it’s due to being able to replicate products that would hurt sales. But at the same time consumers need to have knowledge on what they are buying and putting into their everyday lives.
7. Yes and No. It does mention bits and pieces about these issues, and covers these issues and brings light to them, but it doesn’t feel like it’s a complete central focus.
8. Can't help but be a little grossed out my some of the things shown. I do feel that there could have been a little more depth into some of the issues.
