Food Inc.

There are many of ways that I've seen the modern theme of industrialization/ mechanization manifest itself in the film.  One way is there are four slaughter houses in the U.S.A.  With only that little amount and having to feed so many people in the U.S., that's a big problem.  Another can be the chickens were stored in a small dark area.  A lot of those chickens could catch diseases because they are being held in the dark instead of being in a facility that's opened.  One other way can be they change the sizing of the meats.  For an example, on a regular chicken the breast are too small, so they enlarge them because they used that to feed more people then using the regular size.  One aspect where I can relate to the film is how so many foods recently have been showing up with salmonella poisoning in them.  I watch closely to what foods I eat because most of the food now is processed with different things in it, people can get sick from it and die, just like the little boy did.
