The documentary "the food company" in the audience has caused great repercussions. Its record of "insider" let many people feel that "deceived", at that time to the modern food industry anger was lit again. It is not a "science documentary", but to crusade against the capitalist mode of production. But for a variety of reasons, China's audience does not seem to focus on "capitalism", and more care with the aid of this documentary to judge oneself should eat what shouldn't eat what.
So, apart from the political and economic problems, the documentary in the technology field in what kind of problem? The film a began to point out, the past fifty years food production and processing mode changes than before 10000 years have occurred, the implicit "change is bad" implication of. The restatement ignore the point that the development of science and technology more and more quickly, almost every field in the past fifty years than in the past changes in 10000. In fact, the change is not a problem, change bring us things is good is bad is the question. But the film is to avoid it. A lot of people when it comes to food, will be the pursuit of "natural". The problem is, the agricultural production itself is a kind of "unnatural" activities. With our all kinds of staple food, for example, their wild species not a can be directly eat, so over the past 10000 years, the change of these species than they are in the past 10 million years. The ancients fresh meat curing up, until later, this change is also very big. For another example, the animals in captivity in up, let the chickens, ducks lose flying ability, the change is not better than lock them into modern henhouse smaller.
The film another emotional point is the industrialization of chicken means: a lot of chicken crowded together, breed and feed improvement let their growth period greatly shorten the, in order to prevent large scale breeding bring epidemic, often also use of antibiotics. In order to flesh out and improved varieties almost lost the ability to action. The chicken was optional thrown around, more let a person sympathy deluge. If the film is discussion of the "animal welfare", these statements should be very powerful. But in the food, we only need to discuss this chicken "have nutrition", "have to harm", "how much is it"...
The food company "centerless answer these questions. Producer once again through the "emotional" to convey their "idea". As soon as the audience to accept these touchy-feely, tend to ignore those who should be the basic common sense things. For example, in "traditional" food production, a similar "inhuman" way is not rare, fat stock often at a very early age castrated, they feed quality is not guaranteed, are often feed to swill and mildew food. Birds were forcibly irrigation feeding, only to make famous goose liver and roast duck...
Of course, the modern food industry itself is not without problems, but the needs of the community is how to solve the specific problems, but not simple against. When the food companies "only be as critical capitalist sample, it may not have too big problems, but to rely on it to explore the mysteries of the table, is not appropriate for.
