I have thought about where our food comes from, but never too deeply. After watching the film Fresh, I have been thinking about it much more.
That is the purpose of the film- to make us more aware of what we eat. The audience is people like me who want to know more, but don' really think about it. I think it is a really good film because it clearly shows many issues and solutions in the food industry.
I liked that the film showed solutions for the consumers and producers. There are farmers who take care of their animals and farmland and makes more money than those who don't. Consumers can easily go to local farms, family-owned supermarkets, grow their own food, and more.
Just knowing what you are eating and where it came from can leave you with a happy mind and a happy body. I think it is important for people to know these things so that they can make better decisions about what they eat and what they buy.
I agree with your post, we are too naive to believe that all food suppliers are reliable and safe. But the truth is, there are people who, because of the money and saving production costs, do things we can not even imagine to our food. These dirty strategies help them reduce production costs and increase income, while the real clean products are too expensive and difficult to reach consumers.
