A disturbing documentary shedding light on the United States’ food industry practices has left Netflix viewers horrified and prompted some to contemplate adopting a vegan lifestyle.

Titled “Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food,” the documentary directed by Stephanie Soechtig delves into the failures of the American food industry to shield citizens from potential life-threatening consequences associated with food-borne pathogens.

Through interviews with experts and families of victims, the Netflix film unravels the industry’s shortcomings that have led to dire outcomes.

The controversial documentary on Netflix.

Among the unsettling revelations, the documentary uncovers the alarming fact that companies can sell chicken contaminated with salmonella. An expert underscored this distressing reality, stating, “Your primary assumption should be that [supermarket chicken] contains pathogens such as salmonella.”

The revelations portrayed in “Poisoned” have left traumatized viewers grappling with their food choices. Many expressed a desire to transition to veganism in order to safeguard themselves from the risks associated with the food-borne pathogens discussed in the documentary.

Viewer trauma

A concerned viewer exclaimed, “This ‘Poisoned’ documentary on Netflix makes me wanna turn vegan.” Another individual added, “Poisoned on Netflix has TRAUMATIZED me.”

Encouraging others to watch the documentary, a Twitter user urged, “I urge everybody to go watch ‘Poisoned’ on Netflix. It’s scary to think about what type of food we’re putting in our bodies.”

Another tweet read, “This is scary… Anyone of us can end up in the hospital and even die just by eating a contaminated piece of lettuce or an undercooked piece of meat.”

However, not all viewers were deeply affected by the documentary’s revelations. Some remained nonchalant about the findings, with one user humorously admitting, “Poisoned on Netflix is kind of scary tbh. I’ll still eat what I eat but to see how little regulations there are is pretty eye-opening.”

Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.

Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.

The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.

This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
