Food Inc - More Than Just Food

     We live in a society where race, economy, and corporate control are part of the most considered aspects in a person. Food Inc is the name of a famous documentary which exposes "what the consumer's eye" don't get to see. There is a variety of procedures that food is submitted to, before packing and selling to society. How does "Food Inc" relates to race, economy and the famous "Economic Hitman"? Food Inc and the procedures exposed in this documentary relate to race, economy, and the corporate control because of the concept or the idea of "Power."

     Power: 

pow·er

  [pou-er]

noun

1.

ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.

2.

political or national strength: the balance of power in Europe.

3.

great or marked ability to do or act; strength; might; force.

4.

the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendancy: power over men's minds.

5.

political ascendancy or control in the government of a country, state, etc.: They attained power byoverthrowing the legal government.

     These five main definitions to power relate to Food Inc, Race, Economy, and corporate control. One of the main ideas of power is considered to be "money". Money moves mass, people, ideas, goals and many other. Companies have the ambitious tendency of picking low income targets in order to feed and grow their strength. It is also considered that race is related to power, therefore money; in the U.S white people are more wealthy than the rate of wealth of black people. Once there is power, once there is a difference of power, control is possible, considering control as possessing another entity. Power is the main relation between race, economy, corporate control and the purpose of Food Inc. We live in a society where we are in a competitive race to obtain a piece of power.
