Food Inc. (Extra Credit)

.
Central Argument :
Large corporations are now controlling our food system. These corporations make there farmers abuse the animals and use genetic engineering to speed up the growing process for these animals. The government says they are for us and protecting us but they are allowing these corporations "poision" us.

Assertions :
- A few companies are now running our entire food system.
- In 1978 The FDA performed 50,000 inspections in 2006 there were only around 10,000.
- The companies argue why wait 3 months for a animal to mature when you can do it in 1 1/2 months
- When the food companies have a problem they look for high-tech substitutions that will allow the system to survive but never fix it.
