From the olive groves of Italy to the fish markets of France and the abattoirs of Poland, this film takes you on a culinary journey of a distinct kind. It's a global exploration into the realm of counterfeit food, revealing the hidden complexities of this industry.

If it's THIS bad in Europe, I cringe to think how it's got to be at least 1,000 times worse here in the US.

I have worked in the food industry. I have got such powerful feelings about this, a simple comment just won't make-it. Just this, - you absolutely would never BELIEVE the amount of FRAUD that surrounds-you - it IS absolutely everywhere.

Those products have to be properly labeled: "ground meat 50% horse", "beef with 20% mad cow", "rapeseed oil (olive-oil-flavored)", "old raw tuna with nitrates as preservative". Then sell them.

The entire world is full of it, not just the food industry. There isn't one segment of any society, around the world, that isn't out to con someone else out of something.

Meanwhile in America, where many ingredients are banned elsewhere, we still use them. such as sucralose and HFCS. I'd imagine the FDA would look the other way so long as there was money to be made.

The dishonesty in the world makes me sick. Everyone, from the top to the average citizen has their angles and schemes to one degree or another. I am so cynical and distrustful or everyone and everything, it's paralyzing.

As a Canadian, I'm appalled at our involvement in this fake meat industry! I'm all for making an extra buck to secure a retirement nest egg. But I totally do not condone the act when you make your "nest egg" by conning your customers into believing your product is something and it's really something else, altogether. Especially, when it comes to food products that we are tricked into purchasing!!

Be aware of potential fraud, even when you are having your meats raised and then taken to the slaughterhouse. We had two hogs processed and were given the meat from other unknown animals, while our meat was most likely sold in their shop because it was of such high quality. Our grower was furious. We never went back there but felt helpless to do anything about what happened.

“It’s quite unappetizing.” Quite the understatement! 😮

I'm trying to eat while watching this. Big mistake. 🤢

An old saying goes like this....Don't eat what you can't see. Basically, this is referred to things like hot dogs, burgers, lasagna, cannelloni, kebabs and such products. Avoid frozen prepared food as much as you can or at all costs.
