Response to Food Inc, and Tough Guise Video

              I found that the videos Tough guise and Food inc. were very informative. In the Tough Guise video, males explained why they acted tough sometimes. They did to avoid being called insults that made them look weak and not manly. Some started acting tough because they lived in a dangerous neighborhood. Muscular bodies are also a sign of manliness. Those that didn’t have a big muscular body just talked tough to be able to gain some respect. In movies they showed that the heroes are usually muscular guys with a big gun and that throughout the years the size of the gun also changed. The video Food Inc. also showed the truth about what goes on in the food processing business. First of all the food is made in factories which is contrary to what the labels on packages claim about the product being made in a farm. The animals such as chickens have to grown pretty big to be able to sell them. These animals are mistreated as well as the workers who don’t get paid much. Two facts that really surprised me was that the majority of food products were made from rearrangements of corn. This makes it easier for companies to make more money. The other fact was that the number of inspections at factories dropped from 50,000 to about 9,164 per year. It’s not right how food companies care more about the money they make than the health of their customers.
