Food Industry/ Government Involvement

The FDA is suppose to regulate the food we eat. They make companies put nutrition labels in almost all products. But what about the ingredients going into making your food? Do they label "Grown in a Pesticide Farm" or "Cows with e.coli"? The government should open the blinds to the american people so they can see what actually goes into their food. As a citizen, I believe i have a right to know where my food is grown/raised, whether or not they're using chemicals or altering my food in any way. Food inc. helps point out some of the flaws in these big companies who run the food industry. These companies should have to be inspected way more often. When a company denies any outside media to take a "closer look" at how they run their farms, people should start to question the food they eat and buy. The government needs to make new laws allowing every farm to be inspected, and that products that are altered with chemicals and whatnot, need to be posted in the label.
