Du poison au menu

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!

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.

Actually terrifying to realize how dangerous food is and even more terrifying to realize that the people that are responsible for the production and manufacturing of that food literally do not care if you live or die, only that they made money off of you. Definitely a must watch for all Americans. Hopefully the attention from this documentary increase food, safety awareness and drives Congress to be more proactive and make some changes. This documentary was put together very well and I like how they're conducted their own study with the 150 chicken pieces. Very educational and frightening. Definitely recommend for all Americans, as I previously stated.

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.

Everyone, especially Americans, should watch this. Reports of E.coli and salmonella outbreaks have become almost ubiquitous nowadays that we might have become inured to them. But the danger is real. The segment showing a baby dying from E.coli O157 is the most heartbreaking scene I've ever watched onscreen.

It's outrageous how food-producing companies seem to consider their products to be mere commodities, not thinking about how their products would affect consumers. Imagine faking the results of positive salmonella tests so they'd show negative results. Or ignoring complaints about undercooked hamburgers because cooking them more would toughen the meat. Or ignoring reports that processing facilities have live rats or bird crap. Or planting romaine lettuce close to livestock farms where animal waste contaminates the water used to irrigate the crops. These are criminal, causing consumers to get sick and even die. Why are executives of these companies given relatively light sentences considering the danger they've exposed people to?

Consumers, this is up to us. Nope, washing fruits and salad greens would not always do because pathogens that may get into crops from irrigation water contaminated with diseased animal waste need to be cooked to be killed. And cooking meat is not enough either because first, meat needs to be cooked to at least 140-degrees F for E.coli to be killed. Second, a pathogen-infested meat can easily contaminate the house if not handled extra extra extra carefully.

We need to make the government know we care about not getting comatose, having damaged liver or dying from pathogens in our food. Better yet, elect officials who care more for us consumers than their buddies, the executives/managers of food producing companies. Most of all, don't elect presidents who don't have enough sense not to appoint regulators whose research had been funded by the same companies they are regulating.

Europe can sell chicken products marked "pathogen-free". Why can't it be done in the US? Why can't we just do things that are right without putting politics in the middle? Politics would be the death of us. Truly.
