Industrial Food (Rough Draft)

Industrialized Food (Rough Draft)

Food is a major factor to human survival. Presently food is required to have a certain taste that would satisfy your taste buds. That certain satisfaction was highly reached once the Industrial Age began. Food would constantly be manufactured and the process of production was sped. Industrial Food became the food of our nation as it takes over every aspect of the American culture.

Industrialized food now a days are over produced and the customers are over weight. It is a classic system of supply and demand. It approximately takes an average 5 minutes to receive your order and behind the scenes in the meat packing industries, it takes less than a minute to decapitate a fully grown cattle. The process has been sped to a point of outrageous production. Fast Food Nation by: Eric Shlosser emphasizes the blueprints of a meat packing industry, the experience of every worker of the fast food world and the dirty side of our meat. Both the movie and the book previewed the fast food life as a vicious circle. To make a simple “Big One” takes a whole bunch of work from both humans, machines and animals. The labor is unnatural and so are the food sold at every fast food links.

With similar intentions, the book Omnivores Dilemma by: Michael Pollan is practically narrated about every corner of the Industrialized world. From the over production of grains, the transportation of the grains and all the accessible products, it would take probably less than a crew of men to create corn syrup. Omnivores Dilemma also flowed smooth as a book and the ending was superb with the whole family enjoying a McDonalds meal. Without all the drama which galore in Fast Food Nation, Omnivores Dilemma is more of a factual book than a great story.

Our Daily Bread is an amazing movie that taught the origins of our commonly eaten food. Without any conversations, Our Daily bread contained enough knowledge to cut off your satisfaction of meat or chicken. The metaphor of the movie was basically to observe the casualness of eating bread and the food that is nearly trash.
