Food Inc. The modern American supermarket has, on average 47000 products.

The reality behind how our food is produced is not a farm, but a factory. In the 1930s the drive-in was invented by the McDonald brothers. To build one poultry house costs between $280,000 and $300,000. A typical grower (not farmer) with two chicken houses has borrowed over $500,000 and earned $18,000. Most of our industrial food base is made from corn. CAFO stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. Regulatory agencies are being controlled by the companies they are supposed to be scrutinizing. There are 13 slaughter houses in the USA that process the majority of the beef. Kevins Law would give the USDA the power to shut down processing plants that repeatedly produce contaminated beef. Beef filler is washed in ammonia to kill e-coli bacteria. The biggest determinant of obesity is income level. One third of all Americans born after 2000 will contract early onset diabetes. The people who own the processing plants dont want others to go there because then the world would see the ugly truth.
