            This wasn’t the first time I saw the documentary, Food Inc. but this time definitely made a different impact on me.  I think this time was different from the first time because of the people’s reactions.  I watched the movie the first time on my own by myself, I was definitely shocked but didn’t let it impact me that much.  Watching the movie with other people and seeing their reaction made me look at the movie differently.  I came to realize how gross the documentary actually was.  The way that so few companies control one aspect of how food is made is shocking.  Also, the way that they quickly mass-produce food is gross.  It makes me worried about the kinds of food that I am putting into my body.  I disregard checking food labels and eat out from time to time and I don’t even think twice about it.  I am so uninformed about the foods I eat. 

After watching the movie I am really convinced that I need to eat organic foods.  I want to help the little businesses and by doing so I am more informed about the foods that I am eating.  I can make healthier choices and eat less processed foods.  I also wish Wal-Mart would stay out of the organic market.  I know they just want to make money but it makes me sad that they have to get involved in an industry that can be run on their own.  Overall, I thought the movie was really intense and maybe too intense for a class roommate setting.  People should be more informed about what their eating but make their own choices about what they’re watching.
