Investigates the dangers to human health posed by feedlot-raised beef.
"When you bring a package of hamburger home from a supermarket, you have to treat it as toxic material." - Mike McBane, Canadian Health Coalition
FRANKENSTEER is a disturbing yet compelling documentary that reveals how the ordinary cow is being transformed into an antibiotic dependent, hormone-laced potential carrier of toxic bacteria, all in the name of cheaper food.
The beef industry, supported by North American government agencies and pharmaceutical companies, has engaged in an on-going experiment to create the perfect food machine to increase speed of production and reduce the cost of manufacture. But there is a price in producing a cheap industrial product. This benign, grazing herbivore has undergone a radical rethinking in how it's raised, fed and slaughtered, including recent changes in inspection rules have shifted the responsibility for food safety from government inspectors to the people on the floor who do the slaughtering and packing.
FRANKENSTEER reveals some startling facts. Every year 50% of the total tonnage of antibiotics used in Canada ends up in livestock. And every year cattle raised in massive feedlots are routinely dosed with antibiotics even if they are not sick. For public health safety reasons during the current BSE (Mad Cow disease) crisis, North American health officials have labeled certain parts of the cow as bio-hazardous products and have ordered that they be handled accordingly.
And consumers, by and large, are totally unaware of the dangers lurking in their beloved steaks, ribs and, most especially, hamburgers.
Review
"This is not a pro-vegetarian propaganda film, although the troubling revelations certainly inspire a meat-free lifestyle¡KThis documentary serves up a stockpile of disturbing information from sources on all sides of the cattle fence, including an agricultural research scientist, feedlot operators, an agricultural economist, organic farmers, veterinarians and Health Canada officials¡KThe low-budget, straightforward production avoids in-your-face pandering, choosing instead to lay out the details with a simple, no-frills approach."

The HACCP system, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, was developed in the 1960s in the US and was used in the NASA space program.
This program analyses and explains this scientific system, which identifies specific hazards and measures for their control, ensuring food safety. HACCP can be applied throughout the food chain from primary production through to consumption. HACCP also aids in the inspection of food premises by regulatory authorities and ensures confidence in export industries that the food we produce is safe.
Throughout this program the seven principles that all food workplaces should implement as part of their Food Safety Program are discussed.

Renowned chef John Bishop leads viewers on an eye-opening and engaging journey into the billion-dollar battle to control global food production. Starting with a gourmet meal in his five-star restaurant, Bishop travels the world -- from farmer's fields to biotech laboratories to supermarket aisles -- on a personal quest to find out what our food choices are.
With a hearty appetite for food and information, chef Bishop explores the politics and ethics of food. He discovers that 70% of processed foods on supermarket shelves in North America contain genetically modified ingredients. The handful of biotech companies who control genetically modified seeds claim this is the only way to feed the world's growing population. But are these foods safe? Are there other, less risky ways to feed ourselves? Our chef finds answers to these compelling questions and more.
From North America to Great Britain to India and back, John Bishop shares fascinating conversations and mouth-watering feasts with farmers, such as Michael Ableman, scientists and activists, such as Vandana Shiva. We see the actual transfer of DNA from bacteria into canola plants, and meet Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser who is battling the giant Monsanto Corporation. We learn startling information about the milk we drink in North America and meet Indian farmers and activists fighting to keep traditional farming practices alive.
Deconstructing Supper is a ride every contemporary eater will want to take -- a thought-provoking and entertaining journey into the revolution in modern food production, and its effects on our lives.
Reviews
"A beautiful film that uplifted my spirit and brought me more in touch with my love for food¡KThoroughly mindful and compassionate, this is not a film that makes enemies. It's a film that make sense." - John Robbins, author The Food Revolution, and Diet For A New America
"Deconstructing Supper is a fine film, important for every culinary resource library. With so many scientific and technological changes taking place in food production, I feel it is vital that both chefs and students and lovers of food in general be knowledgeable about the ingredients they use. Nobody should take lightly what is happening to our farm produce¡K" - Anne Willan, Founder & President, LaVarenne at The Greenbrier
"Colourful and engaging, with fine camera-work¡KThis is a film for all those who might just be wondering what is happening to the foods they used to know and love." - Brewster Kneen, The Rams Horn
"The film takes Bishop on an around-the-world trip¡KWhat he finds is an industrialization process in the world's farming industry that is frighteningly reminiscent of such historical events as the communist farm collectives and the Irish potato famine¡KAs scary as a lot of this sounds Deconstructing Supper is neither gloomy nor ideological¡K(O)rganic farmers in California, Saskatchewan and India show there are working alternatives." - Brian Gorman, TV Data
"What's a GMO? Chef John Bishop discovers that, thanks to Monsanto Corporation, food just ain't what it used to be. In his globe-trotting investigation, this conscientious chef also illustrates that, despite Monsanto's monkey-business, 'natural food' production remains both a feasible and pleasurable enterprise." - Prof. Timothy McGettigan, PhD, Department of Sociology, Colorado State University- Pueblo
"A fascinating, if disturbing, primer on the subject of genetically modified food. It manages to instruct without scolding, explore without preaching, and ultimately, should interest anybody who eats." - Toronto Star
"Superbly constructed¡Kincredibly informative as well as entertaining¡KAllows the audience to come to their own conclusions with the facts from both sides of the food issue presented." - Neil Ritchie, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy
"Deconstructing Supper tells a good story, and makes you wish you could afford organic produce more often." - The (Toronto) Globe and Mail
"Having a storyline places this film apart¡KIn addition, there are some very good visuals¡Kand dialogue which doesn't pull its punches." - Philip L. Bereano, University of Washington
"This illuminating film reminds us of the importance of knowing where our food comes from, and it shows us how the choices we make everyday about the food we eat are some of the most important decisions we make." - Alice Waters, Owner, Chez Panisse Restaurant
"The chemical industry's power over our food is a key message in this video. If you haven't heard the story of Percy Schmeiser's struggle with Monsanto, [Deconstructing Supper] is worth seeing just to hear him tell it." - Dana Jackson, The Land Stewardship Letter

Foodborne Illnesses For Cafeterias - Improper food preparation, handling, or storage can quickly result in food being contaminated with germs that may lead to illness such as hepatitis A or diarrheal diseases. Check with your local health department to obtain the regulations and standards for food safety and sanitation and ask about the availability of a food handler course in your area. Understanding and following a few basic principles can help prevent food spoilage and transmission of infections.
Topics covered in this safety video include: safe serving and storage temperatures, approved food preparation equipment, dishes, utensils, cutting boards, and handwashing procedures.
Foodborne Illnesses In Restaurants - To prevent foodborne infections: Keep food at safe serving and storage temperatures at all times to prevent spoiling and the risk of transmitting disease. Food should be kept at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder or at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer. The range between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit is considered the "danger zone" because within this range bacteria grow most easily. Leftovers, including hot foods such as soups or sauces, should be refrigerated immediately and should not be left to cool at room temperature. Using shallow pans or bowls will facilitate rapid cooling. Frozen foods should be thawed in the refrigerator, not on counter tops, or in the sink with cold water, not hot or warm water.
Topics included in this safety video are: approved food preparation equipment, dishes, and utensils, cutting boards, wooden food preparation boards, cleaning and sanitizing, plastic containers, saran or plastic wrap, paper towels, and handwashing procedures.
Sanitation In The Food Industry - When a restaurant, meat market, seafood, grocery store, or food processing facility is open, that means it has a satisfactory sanitation and health rating. Satisfactory doesn't mean there aren't problems; it just means that on the day the health inspector visited, the establishment passed the minimal requirements. Some are closed down until they correct deficiencies. This program is designed to help you reduce the risk of potential of foodborne illnesses and other related diseases.
Topics included in this safety video are: protection from contamination, bacteria, temperature control, hygiene and personnel practices, communicable diseases/injuries, hand-washing, personal cleanliness and conduct, outside surroundings, overhead structures and lighting, non-food chemicals, general cleanliness and housekeeping, cleaning and sanitizing equipment, and pest control.
