'Food, Inc. 2' investigates corporate control, workers' rights in food system

[@mspuddin931]

Repeal citizens united! Guess when that was voted in?

[@bartjargengarblbargeler1980]

Citizens United was a SCOTUS decision.

[@t.r.campbell6585]

You must support the entrenched political class. Citizens United gives the average citizens, a voice. Citizens United is a good law because it pertains to average Americans. Only those who support corrupt government. Want to resend citizens United.

[@magaareinbredhillbillies]

citizens united is where the rich can give more money to control us.

[@santarosa6676]

Food, medical insurance, home insurance, energy, tech, etc…. Our nation has been taken over and we have a weak government. Shame on house and senate.

America America...Where have you gone? Fresh water 💧 and foods. My Grandparents went thru the Depression owning 27 acres of land with smoke house and acres of gardens with enough to share with neighbors. They never knew they were in the Depression.😂 Wake up Beautiful America?

The government is real friendly with the Private Farmer....riight.

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

Corporations are really, Really, REALLY friendly to everybody. No chance they pay for bots.

[@magaareinbredhillbillies]

they give them lots of money.

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

Corporations don't work to better society.

[@t.r.campbell6585]

Corporations are owned by citizens, who invest in these corporations. Corporations are publicly held companies. If you want to have a voice in the corporate community, buy a share of this corporation and attend meetings. Speak out.

Greedy people don’t . We allowed to own a business but not have a centralized food system and by a handful of companies.

[@nobody687]

Gee, i wonder what happened in 1980. Lets quess, ah , Reaganomics and deregulation.

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

^They're right.

[@Benjimac379]

How about asking your buddy Jimmy Carter prior to the 80s when he started the grain embargo which would be one of the big events that would contribute to the farming crisis

[@nobody687]

@Benjimac379 Reaganomics destroyed the middle class. That was the biggest reason for small farmers being run out. He gave corporations the green light to out compete small farms. Trckle down never trickled down. Now, corporations have control over anything they want. Reagan also conspired with Iran to hold the hostages until after the election. In order to defeat Jimmy Carter. That's documented fact.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Bottom line. Fast food workers in Denmark get $22 - $25 hourly. They get a pension. They receive 6 weeks paid vacation. Health care is a right, not a privilege. And the cost of a Big Mac? Same as ours or very, very close. Greed in America is a f'ing disease anymore.

[@urkiddingme6254]

The 1984 movie, "Country," about a small farm being auctioned off, foretold this. It's been getting worse for decades. Some small farmers are starting a trend back to sustainable farming, but I think most of them have to find a niche market to survive. One of them, Gold Shaw Farm, in Vermont, publishes a regular, highly entertaining youtube channel video as part of his income. Plus he worked as a marketing manager in a big city for years so he could afford the startup costs without going into deep debt. It's possible, but it takes some ingenuity, planning, and drive.

I live in canada ,here too people are saying ,migrants are taking all the job's,,,well sorry but white kids dont want to work at Macdonalds anymore and if they do work alot of this younger generation have no problem phoning in sick or just not coming in,,,i work in the clothing industry and my boss now doesnt hire them anymore ,not reliable enough, but hire a migrant or older person and they are proud to work and come in everyday never phones in sick,,i can count how many times i phoned in sick on one hand in 35 years of working,,,time has changed,,younger generation are very entitle ,

[@susanr5546]

I saw the first Food, Inc. when it first came out. An eye opener! The huge agribusiness companies are strangling our farmers and our food supply. This is dangerous for all of us. A relative of mine grew up on a farm in central Illinois. He is now a PhD specialist in agriculture. He is worried about our soil health and the lack of diverse crops in the United States.

Bill Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres

[@bartjargengarblbargeler1980]

Something fishy about that

[@TheRealBlueValhalla]

End corporate ownership of farmland

[@t.r.campbell6585]

Bill Gates is one of our wealthy Democrat party progressives.

[@catbb1000]

I'd rather if a millionaire owns 242,000 acres it would be an American. I'm sick of foreigners being allowed to buy our land and businesses.

​@nobody687 you see lack of competition as a good thing?

[@t.r.campbell6585]

Workers are protected by various state and federal laws pertaining to working conditions and minimum wage. The problem is that we have allowed tens of thousands of foreign nationals to illegally enter the country. these individuals are here illegally. Some have committed misdemeanors by entering the country illegally the first time and others have become felons or illegally entering the USA on numerous occasions. These individuals avoid the law and are willing to work for much less than the minimum wage.

[@catbb1000]

If corporations would quit hiring illegals we probably wouldn't have as big of a problem with illegals . This has been going on for 65 years as long as I've been alive. And our young people don't want to physically work this hard anymore.
