This week's Netflix movie is called, "Food Chains," and talks about the poor living conditions of the workers who provide the produce for fast food chains. It takes a startling look at the low wages and mistreatment that they go through just so someone can have a "value meal" or something off the "dollar menu" (but at the expense of others and the profit of large corporations). This is definitely a must watch and makes you think twice when you realize you have the power to affect other families by just voting with your wallet for food purchases. This is one more reason to choose whole foods over fast foods. Summary from the website (http://www.foodchainsfilm.com) There is more interest in food these days than ever, yet there is very little interest in the hands that pick it. Farmworkers, the foundation of our fresh food industry, are routinely abused and robbed of wages. In extreme cases they can be beaten, sexually harassed or even enslaved – all within the borders of the United States. Food Chains reveals the human cost in our food supply and the complicity of large buyers of produce like fast food and supermarkets. Fast food is big, but supermarkets are bigger – earning $4 trillion globally. They have tremendous power over the agricultural system. Over the past 3 decades they have drained revenue from their supply chain leaving farmworkers in poverty and forced to work under subhuman conditions. Yet many take no responsibility for this. _______________________________________ #tropicalsmoothieguy #foodchains #fastfoodchain #fastfoodchains #foodchainsfilm #foodchainfilim #fastfood #fastfoods #wholefood #wholefoods #realfood #realfoods #rawfoods #humanrights #foodindustry #thefoodindustry #valuemeal #dollarmenu #cheapfood #expensivefood #foodissue (at Las Vegas, Nevada)
