The Netflix docu-series may not be the most palatable food show for subscribers to watch, but it’s highly educational, and it feels vital in its mission to expose the corrupt, greedy, and sometimes inhumane practices utilized by the global food industry.
Most people assume the food they buy in stores and restaurants is safe, authentic, and of the best quality possible.
Rotten’s goal is to show that’s not always the case by giving viewers a look at the meal’s tumultuous path to the plate.
Rotten can and should make everyone think twice about the foods and drinks they’re putting into their bodies, and while the footage might ruin a few foods for some, Rotten’s crash course in food production is as educationally eye-opening as it is horrifying to watch.
