ARW class on 12/21 - Food Inc. video

We watched Food Inc. for about 50 minutes. Some of the main points to think about are:
-Where does our food come from? Who controls the food production and safety system?
-If only a few large multinational corporations gain control over international food supply, what are the implications?
-For meat, grains, and vegetables, what are the effects of aiming for growing "cheaper, faster, bigger" with industrialization and genetic engineering?
-What are the future implications of corporations such as Monsanto owning patents on genetically modified seeds and selling them to farmers?
-What can consumers do if large corporations seem to influencing government policies in an undesirable direction?
