This documentary should be required watching for every American. If you think a food borne illness can't happen to you, you're sadly mistaken.
It's easy to say consumers should cook and/or wash the food they prepare properly. It's harder to understand that the US claims to have the safest food supply in the world, yet regulations are not always enforced. Yes, the consumer has responsibility, but shouldn't we, as Americans be able to trust the USDA, FDA and other regulatory boards to do their jobs?
The leafy greens section of this doc should put the fear of God in us all. That run off water from livestock is not only in close proximity to crops but probably being used to water these crops while the farmers are pretty much self regulated should have us all thinking twice.
The experts in this doc are well educated and knowledgeable. I don't understand some of the negativity in the reviews. They are doing more for us than Congress is doing.
With anything, be objective while viewing. It's an interesting take on the food industry and I'd be interested to see a second part expanding on other foods and what we can do to stay safe.
