Description
"The Meat Lobby: Big Business Against Health?" is a powerful documentary that investigates the meat industry’s efforts to suppress health regulations aimed at protecting consumers. Directed by Sandrine Rigaud, the film uncovers how influential corporations, particularly in Europe, bribe scientists and manipulate studies to downplay the dangers of additives like nitrites, which have been linked to cancer. Through extensive research and interviews, the documentary exposes how the meat industry pressures regulators to delay or block crucial health measures. It not only highlights the health risks posed by these additives but also questions the ethical responsibilities of corporations in safeguarding public health. The film urges viewers to consider the wide-reaching consequences of unchecked corporate influence on food safety and public policy.
