Reflection Food Inc

What are your impressions of how science of food industry, technology of food industry, and society are interrelated?
1. No I am not because of the ways that they are killing almost the whole world.
How did the film describe science & technology as a positive or negative impact on society or the environment?
2. A negative society because it showed us how bad and wast full it is.
How do our consumer choices affect what is out on the market and therefore, our own species survival?
3. Being a product is like voting for it, now simulare to an election which ever product gets the most "Votes" stays on the shelf, and mostly the unhealthy products get picked, therefore there is a bigger possibility for people to get diabetes or any disease, which might lead our species to extinction.
How are we as humans connected to how the Earth is used?
4. We basically use Earth in every situaticion, although the use of Earth reaches a certain point, that point has already been reached a few years ago. Many of use don't realize it but we as humans are cheating it, and this causes Earth to create natural disasters.
When do we say "no" to more high tech devices and go back to what caused the problem in the first place? Why are we only into the "HOW" things work and not the "WHY" things don't? What did this farmer mean?
He basically means that we never say no to something done fast and cheaply most of these products are unhealthy for you, we are not interested into how they don't work because we only WANT so we don't really wonder WHY but only HOW.
What is the difference between natural farming and industrial farming? Which is better? Are they both necessary for human survival? Why or why not?
The difference between Natural and Industrial farming is that, Natural is expensive and takes long to make products and its good for you. The Industrial Farming on the other side is cheap, really fast to create a product and very unhealthy for you. Only Natural Farming is necessary for survival, actually the Industrial Farming is a necessity for extinction, this is because the natural farming is good for you it has proteins and other necessities of life, but industrial farming causes diabetes and strokes etc.
If technology and industry have improved so much that we are getting faster, fatter, bigger, and cheaper, how are science and technology held responsible for improving or ruining human health and survival?
Because only they know why exactly this is actually happening, and this is mostly feeding inappropriate diets for the animals.
What economic costs, environmental costs, ethical costs, health costs, and cultural costs did you observe while watching the film?
I saw money costs, job costs and even life threatening costs.
Finally, state your final thoughts about this film and any changes you see happening in the food industry in the future or even your own eating habits.
I think health/eating disorders are a major problem in our planet today. Not really many restaurants/fast foods actually pay attention to these problems, but many individuals have changed their diet because of this, one of those individuals is me.
