My opinion
I thought this movie was very informative and I learned a lot from it. I learned just where my food actually comes from. I wonder how much these companies make exactly a year. I liked the movie and agreed with the narrator. It was very intriguing and I did not do further research after seeing it.
I give this movie 4/5 🍔🍔🍔🍔
Rating

Quote
"There are no seasons in the American supermarket. Now there are tomatoes all year round, grown halfway around the world, picked when it was green, and ripened with ethylene gas. Although it looks like a tomato, it's kind of a notional tomato. I mean, it's the idea of a tomato." -Michael Pollan
This quote shows how they are producing food, but not naturally and says how they are.
