Poisoned: The dirty truth about your food is a documentary not everyone can stomach. The 82-minute-long feature reveals some shocking — and quite disturbing — truths about an industry that is permeated with unethical practices. As income trumps health and safety concerns at almost every turn, the supposedly highly regulated food production sector in the US is the root cause of numerous illnesses. And the facts are here to prove it: The CDC reports that “48 mn people get sick from foodborne illness each year in the US.” From salmonella to E coli to countless other bacteria, consumers are duped into thinking they are safe when in fact the industry appears to need a complete overhaul where regulation and supervision must become more stringent to avoid unnecessary sickness and even deaths. This documentary is both an eye opener and a cautionary tale about the importance of knowing exactly where our food comes from.
