Food Inc Reflection

After watching Food Inc, what are your impressions of how science of food industry, technology of food industry, and society are interrelated?  

How did the film describe science & technology as a positive or negative impact on society or the environment?  

How do our consumer choices affect what is out on the market and therefore, our own species survival?  

How are we as humans connected to how the Earth is used?  

A few ideas that popped up in conversation throughout the movie were:  

When do we say "no" to more high tech devices and go back to what caused the problem in the first place?  Why are we only into the "HOW" things work and not the "WHY" things don't?  What did this farmer mean? 

What is the difference between natural farming and industrial farming?  Which is better?  Are they both necessary for human survival?  Why or why not? 

If technology and industry have improved so much that we are getting faster, fatter, bigger, and cheaper, how are science and technology held responsible for improving or ruining human health and survival? 

What economic costs, environmental costs, ethical costs, health costs, and cultural costs did you observe while watching the film?   

Finally, state your final thoughts about this film and any changes you see happening in the food industry in the future or even your own eating habits.
