Contaminação: A Verdade Sobre o que Comemos

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) ...

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.

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.

I just saw the movie and i was curious what rating it has on IMDb, can't say i am surprised.

Fortunately there aren't many reviews so i read all of them just to get an idea.

Debates are always positive, unless both parties are wrong. I like when a documentary leaves me slightly conflicted because i go to the reviews in hopes to find that random extra information i need to sway me into a certain direction but to be fair, these days is getting increasingly hard to find a documentary which is 100% unbiased or 100% accurate facts and it's our own societal/governmental evolution or rather "devolution" to blame for that.

Everything now has hundreds of entities that "govern" everything in-between, like the LGMA, no one knows who is doing what for who or who's to be blamed if things go (-) (-) up, but in practice we kind of all know that most are doing it for their own self existence, the old "getting paid by the company that you should investigate" conundrum is as old as time and just like sugar has now 999 different names on a label, it's getting harder to even know who's who.

I'm actually amazed that this docu' managed to pull the Purdue guy, LGMA guy and that "scientific" lady only to roast them.

There is always mostly one big lesson i learn and consolidate from a slew of very different documentaries, and that is the LAW, the GOV, the companies, never did or ever will care about what happens to us, and that there are a thousands companies getting bribes and salaries for no apparent reasons except play some make believe intermediaries, oh and also wash you leafy greens and cook your meat!

Another "Blame The Orange Man" production... What *isn't mentioned is "who" was in The White House during all the REPEAT Outbreaks! Watch and discern for yourself. The bottom line is, that until lobbyists are restrained from buying their politicians, the status will remain quo.

How about we talk about all the bad policies and their consequences throughout multiple administrations?

Anyways, it's made obvious that money talks and b§ walks, but the more light that's she'd on these food manufacturers, the better for us all in the end.

Now I'm waiting to see bioengineered foods exposed, and the study of the health affects of them on us!
