    "The movie presented the following theses: * Factory farming is bad for the animals, bad for the environment, and ultimately bad for us as well. * Foodborne illnesses have not gotten any easier to prevent in this industrialized system, and in fact, the industrialization and centralization of our food supply has made it even easier to contaminate. * Some food processing plants treat workers poorly and often exploit the poorest people or immigrants (legal or not) with unsafe working conditions, low wages, etc. The food they produce costs less at the grocery store as a result. * We spend less on food than we used to, but at the same time health care costs have ballooned. Instead of spending so little on food (and eating the worst quality food - junk food laden with high fructose corn syrup and/or trans fats for example) and spending so much on heart medications, diabetes medications, etc, we should eat properly in the first place to make those medications unnecessary. * A lot of corn and soy are GMO - Genetically Engineered Organisms. They are built to withstand spraying of pesticides and herbicides. Farmers cannot save seeds and are forever beholden to the seed corporation. GMOs are generally bad. * Farm subsidies currently benefit large monoculture farms (farms that produce one product, such as soy or corn). This is why soy and corn are ingredients in almost everything, and why the unhealthiest food is frequently the cheapest." Thanks FoodRenegrade!
