<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>"What happens is all these
things we're seeing – campylobacter, E coli, mad cow, listeria,
salmonella, that weren't even in the lexicon 30 years ago – that is the
industrial paradigm exceeding its efficiency. So these Latin squiggly words
that we're learning to say – bovine spongiform encephalopathy – are
nature's language screaming to us: ENOUGH! And the question then is: what will
it take for us to listen? And my contention is that Wall Street is still
wearing conquistador mentality and uniforms, and nobody is listening to the
pleadings of nature saying: 'Enough.'" – Joel Salatin<o:p></o:p></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>Films like </i><em><span
style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-style:normal'>Food, Inc</span></em><i>,
Salatin suggests, are finally "exposing the kind of corruption and evil
that is the shortcut. What happens when you don't ask: how do we make pigs
happy? Well, you view the pig as just a pile of protoplasmic structure to be
manipulated however cleverly human hubris can imagine to manipulate it. And
when you view life from that kind of mechanistic, arrogant, disrespectful
standpoint, you very soon begin to view all of life from a very disrespectful,
arrogant, manipulative standpoint. And the fact is, we aren't machines."<o:p></o:p></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>"Can I feed the world?
That's a wonderful question, one of my favourites," Salatin smiles, having
more or less asked the question himself. "Not only can we feed the world,
this is the only system that really can feed the world."<o:p></o:p></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>From Erich Schlosser, author of “Fast Food Nation,”
and co-producer of the film, and the director of the film, Robert Kenner:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>"We showed the film to the
head of the US Department of Agriculture and he seemed very sympathetic to it,
but his argument was: '</i><em><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
font-style:normal'>Make</span></em><i> us do it.' There is so much resistance
to change that you really need a movement. Of all the sorts of reforms, the one
that will be easiest to do in the US is food safety, because there's not a big
popular lobby for 'shit in the meat' – Republicans, Democrats, if you ask
them: 'Do you want faecal material in your hamburger?', most people say no. –
Eric Schlosser<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i><o:p> </o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><i>"It was amazing making this
film. I had no idea food was such a litigious subject. Kevin's mother is asked
how his death changed her eating habits, but she can't answer on film because
she fears she could be sued by the food industry. I was dumbfounded. She
mentioned Oprah [who was sued by Texas beef producers for saying on her show
that she would never eat another burger after a segment on BSE in 1996] and I
knew about that, but when you connect the dots it becomes a lot more insidious
– and in context it made me really scared! We were certainly attacked on
a regular basis – several websites were set up to attack the film. We had
every word verified three times. We had to negotiate everything. I spent more
on legal fees on </i><em><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
