The movie documentary reveals the truth behind modern agriculture and food industries.
- 1The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000.
- 2The modern supermarket has, on average, 47,000 products.
- 3The industry doesn't want you to know the truth about what you're eating...
- 4...because if you knew, you might not want to eat it.
- 5We've never had food companies this powerful in our history.
- 6Everything we've done in modern agriculture is to grow it faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper.
- 7If you can grow a chicken in 49 days,...
- 8...why would you want one you gotta grow in three months?
- 9When you go through the supermarket, there is an illusion of diversity.

- 15I find it incredible that the FDA wants to allow the sale of meat from cloned animals without any labeling.
- 16Peanut butter contaminated with salmonella,...
- 17...E. coli has been found in spinach, apple juice,...
- 18...smells like money to me!

- 20It's the exact opposite.
- 21When we run an item past the supermarket scanner,...
- 22...we're voting for local or not, organic or not.
- 23Look at the tobacco industry.
- 24The battle against tobacco is a perfect model of how an industry's irresponsible behavior can be changed.
- 25Imagine what it would be if, as a national policy,...
- 26...the idea would be to have such nutritionally dense food that people actually felt better,...
- 27...had more energy, and weren't sick as much.
- 28You know, now see, now that's a noble goal!
- 29People have got to start demanding good wholesome food of us and we'll deliver.
- 30I promise you.
