documentary

This documentary should be required watching for every American. If you think a food borne illness can't happen to you, you're sadly mistaken. It's easy to say consumers should cook and/or wash the food they prepare properly. It's harder to understand that the US claims to have the safest food supply in the world, yet regulations are not always enforced. Yes, the consumer has responsibility, but shouldn't we, as Americans be able to trust the USDA, FDA and other regulatory boards to do their jobs? The leafy greens section of this doc should put the fear of God in us all. That run off water from livestock is not only in close proximity to crops but probably being used to water these crops while the farmers are pretty much self regulated should have us all thinking twice. The experts in this doc are well educated and knowledgeable. I don't understand some of the negativity in the reviews. They are doing more for us than Congress is doing. With anything, be objective while viewing. It's an interesting take on the food industry and I'd be interested to see a second part expanding on other foods and what we can do to stay safe.

Another "Blame The Orange Man" production... What *isn't mentioned is "who" was in The White House during all the REPEAT Outbreaks! Watch and discern for yourself. The bottom line is, that until lobbyists are restrained from buying their politicians, the status will remain quo. How about we talk about all the bad policies and their consequences throughout multiple administrations? Anyways, it's made obvious that money talks and b§ walks, but the more light that's she'd on these food manufacturers, the better for us all in the end. Now I'm waiting to see bioengineered foods exposed, and the study of the health affects of them on us!

Oneanjel has a great review already. Top of the list as of today. Check it out. With that said, this was interesting at first, then, I agree, it came off as a bleeding heart big bad salmonella lurking everywhere we need more gubmint to run our lives infomercial. Nope. Not gonna happen. The whole E. Coli on chicken or whatever thing they are trying to prove is confusing and laughable. So, if I understand, 20ish percent of chicken pieces wrapped and sold in packaging out of 150 total had E. Coli on the raw chicken. Right? So common sense would tell me that I need to cook that chicken to temp. And then use a disinfectant wipe on counter when done unwrapping it. And wash my hands with some soap. Try to avoid touching stuff. Right? That's common sense and has been common sense in the country forever. Maybe city dwellers, like their example in the video, don't get it. The reason this doesn't get a 1 is because the greens. Yep, the presentation presented in Regards to bagged lettuce is unreal. Most comes from fields right by cattle yards. Duh, your gonna get disease and bacteria on that stuff. But, that sounds like an AZ or CA state regulatory issue imo. Not a uniparty DC never get anything done issue. But don't hold high hopes to get it resolved from the "Republican" AZ majority. The bozos in that state still allow mail in voting after countless evidence proved it resulted in mass fraud in the past 2 election cycles. Can will be kicked down the road. We all suffer. Purple haired lady? Uh no. Your not getting more power. I think banning gas ovens, brick ovens, and gas powered vehicles by whatever date they think it's gonna happen is enough power. And that's just some of the daddy gubmint overreach they try in this admin. You don't need to hire some 3rd party "green" energy company that gets gubmint handouts to "regulate" the food industry more. The crooks at the top will just find other means to break your rules. How bout we Enforce what's on the books.makes sense right? But don't hold your breath folks. Criminals walk the streets in certain party controlled states and areas while the American law abiding citizen gets harmed by em. Liberty for all. Right.

Everyone, especially Americans, should watch this. Reports of E.coli and salmonella outbreaks have become almost ubiquitous nowadays that we might have become inured to them. But the danger is real. The segment showing a baby dying from E.coli O157 is the most heartbreaking scene I've ever watched onscreen. It's outrageous how food-producing companies seem to consider their products to be mere commodities, not thinking about how their products would affect consumers. Imagine faking the results of positive salmonella tests so they'd show negative results. Or ignoring complaints about undercooked hamburgers because cooking them more would toughen the meat. Or ignoring reports that processing facilities have live rats or bird crap. Or planting romaine lettuce close to livestock farms where animal waste contaminates the water used to irrigate the crops. These are criminal, causing consumers to get sick and even die. Why are executives of these companies given relatively light sentences considering the danger they've exposed people to? Consumers, this is up to us. Nope, washing fruits and salad greens would not always do because pathogens that may get into crops from irrigation water contaminated with diseased animal waste need to be cooked to be killed. And cooking meat is not enough either because first, meat needs to be cooked to at least 140-degrees F for E.coli to be killed. Second, a pathogen-infested meat can easily contaminate the house if not handled extra extra extra carefully. We need to make the government know we care about not getting comatose, having damaged liver or dying from pathogens in our food. Better yet, elect officials who care more for us consumers than their buddies, the executives/managers of food producing companies. Most of all, don't elect presidents who don't have enough sense not to appoint regulators whose research had been funded by the same companies they are regulating. Europe can sell chicken products marked "pathogen-free". Why can't it be done in the US? Why can't we just do things that are right without putting politics in the middle? Politics would be the death of us. Truly.

STAR RATING: ***** Brilliant **** Very Good *** Okay ** Poor * Awful In the early 90's, an outbreak of e-coli swept the United States, leading to mass hospitalisations and even deaths. This was followed shortly afterwards by an outbreak of salmonella that caused similar havoc, and the fingers all pointed back to factory farming methods, and the lax standards that were followed, as well as corporate pressure to meet targets rather than ensure safety. But the outbreak was not confined merely to the meat industry, but also to other unlikely sources, including green food such as salad. One of the 'Brexit Benefits' hailed to many of the population was a trade deal on food with the United States, which was countered with their use of 'chlorinated chicken', and the unhygienic methods employed in the U. S. industry in comparison to the more regulated European model. To date, that appears to have been averted, however this documentary from writer Jeff Benedict and director Stephanie Soechtig casts a more unnerving spectre on the food we consume on a daily basis in general. If the dodgy practices of the food companies whose bottom line is to make a buck are unsurprising, you'd like to think the regulatory agencies whose primary role is to keep the public safe would be reliable, but as Soechtig's documentary unravels, it's hard to decipher which one is which, or which department is even responsible for what. A certification of safety from any agency is revealed as no guarantee of safety, leaving an even more unsettling feeling in the stomach. A short, sharp stab at an industry geared to a specific human need, Soechtig's film reveals itself as further proof that Netflix can still pull a decent documentary out the bag when it needs to. ****
