Poisoned: il pericolo nel piatto

Don't listen to anyone's reviews or political ideologies unless you've watched it yourself. This documentary will not provide any new information about our corporate controlled food systems and the regulatory capture of government oversight. However, it does an excellent job of providing narratives and interviews from all stakeholders involved. Consumers, regulators, producers, lobbyists, scientists, and government officials are given a chance to tell their story. You will have enough information to make better choices for yourself and your family. At the end of the day, you can't trust anyone involved in creating the problem to solve that problem.

What starts as an interesting history of modern day food illnesses, ultimately ends up turning into a commercial for more government regulation from a plaintiff attorney and multiple government representatives and agencies.

Food born illnesses are real, but the film chooses not to do the math and put the cases in perspective.

Furthermore, the film did nothing to educate people on safe food preparation tips to prevent this from a happening in their kitchens. Missed opportunity or the filmmakers felt it would be better to scare everyone.

Beef, peanuts, leafy greens, and chicken all exposed. Shocked that fish/seafood escaped unscathed (except for a late montage oyster reference).

It just feels like part of a bigger story - mainly the plaintiff's case against the industry.

Name dropping the brands that have cleared contaminated "food" for purchase, resurfacing the incidences that have occurred in the past, hits the large corporations right in the heart. Suggesting at the end what people can do to protect themselves. (Ex. Buying whole vegetables, not prepackaged salad, doing the cutting myself is very applicable to my life)

It makes me realize how much more comfortable I feel with buying produce that is local and from small businesses, assuring myself that I'm not eating food's contaminated with salmonella and E. Coli. They put research into the representatives that have the capability to make a difference and why things haven't changed in farming practices.

I can make a difference to what I'm buying from the markets with the knowledge that's been shared in the doc. Pretty sweet.

No pun intended - everything connected with food is ... well I understand people may feel quite weird about this. And if you are easily convinced of things ... and this does not only include meat (mostly going after chickens, though sometimes also feels like it is an add for a specific institution, that says it is above the others) ... it has some things to say about your salad too! Yes nothing is safe ... again: maybe not take it literally.

Also try to follow some of the tips, because if you want to see something evil, you will see something ... this also concentrates on America! It seems that they do have quite a few issues over there ... their food control is not the best (contrary to what politicians keep saying) ... FDA - not ftw for sure (no pun intended) ...

Those people writing bad reviews are just either morons or work for government and meat and produce companies. Watch it, I love documentaries that show scary side of our food industry. If only more filmmakers had the courage to make more and more to wake the public up. We all know you can't mess with these giants in food industry but all it takes is few good documentaries and constantly putting in public's eye and we can together change the industry. Watch this film, it's very educational and well made. I really enjoyed it learned few things. It's insane how little we know about the food we consume.
