• Please take the time to watch a documentary and quick clip . The documentary is called "Food Inc." While reading the chapter "The Bureacracy" you will be introduced to various agencies such as the FDA. Each agency has its own operations to conduct. We will be looking at how the FDA has operated in terms of food and what it considers as "safe". This is an important agency to study as the FDA has the power to notate what should and should not be consumed. In an essay format, answer the following questions: Do you believe the FDA is fully ensuring food and other products are 100% health enough to consume? How have agribusiness companies benefited off of its relationship with the FDA? Do you think the FDA are willing to protect farmers or small food producers from agribusiness companies? How does big pharma companies benefit from the FDA and its lack of adequate quality control when it comes to food? What are your views now on the FDA? Do you suggest that there should be changes made to the FDA?
