Truth mixed with a plea for more Government Regulation

What starts as an interesting history of modern day food illnesses, ultimately ends up turning into a commercial for more government regulation from a plaintiff attorney and multiple government representatives and agencies.

Food born illnesses are real, but the film chooses not to do the math and put the cases in perspective.

Furthermore, the film did nothing to educate people on safe food preparation tips to prevent this from a happening in their kitchens. Missed opportunity or the filmmakers felt it would be better to scare everyone.

Beef, peanuts, leafy greens, and chicken all exposed. Shocked that fish/seafood escaped unscathed (except for a late montage oyster reference).

It just feels like part of a bigger story - mainly the plaintiff's case against the industry.
