The film depicts how modern food production companies employ technology to maximize efficiency, consumer safety and profit.

It consists mainly of actual working situations without voice-over narration or interviews as the director tries to let viewers form their own opinion on the subject. The names of the companies where the footage was filmed are purposely not shown.

The director's goal is to provide a realistic view on the internal workings of multiple food production companies in our modern society.

Different processes in agriculture and food processing plants are shown in the film. Since scenes are mixed, food transformations are listed below with no particular order.

* Semen to pigs
* Pigs to meat
* Semen to cows
* Cows to meat
* Cows to milk
* Eggs to chickens
* Chickens to eggs
* Chickens to meat
* Fish
* Crops and field harvests (misc)
* Tomatoes in rock wool
* Salads night harvest
* Peppers
* Cucumbers
* Apples
* Olives harvest
* Salt from mines

What a video. I am glad I am already a vegetarian. I have seen slaughterhouses, reports on animal factory farming and processing before, but this still hurts - Thank you producers. If animal-derived food is required, there are certified humane options available; or animals from small farmers. Sure these options are more expensive, for a good reason and in my opinion fully worthwhile. What my countryman, Dr Kohr, said decades ago is still true: Small is beautiful. At least at small operations, the farmers still can care if they want to, and they often do. Technology and mass farming or mass food production takes the humane aspect out of it all and most always makes life, production, and products worse than necessary. The problem may be that we sometimes believe we have to have quantity instead of quality, which compromises ethics all around. Greed and hunger for money and products didn't make humans and the world we live on healthier or happier.
