Synopsis

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults

Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

3 Reasons To buy this film

This film is amazing and has garnered very well-deserved critical praise.
The film inspired one TLA staffer to change her diet for the better! It's powerful stuff!
It mostly spares you on the gross-out animal death factor and instead, like a good meal, feeds you with facts and information about our f'd up food system.

Review

Their names are "Perdue," "Monsanto," "Burger King" and "Tyson Foods." They sneak high fructose corn syrup into our sweets; abuse our livestock and shoot them up with antibiotics; genetically modify our produce; and exploit small, independent farmers. They grow rich while we become fat and sick. Don't dare come to this film hungry. The fact that the delicious juicy burger you had for lunch is made from a bacteria-laden slurry of ground beef comprised of random parts of 100 different cows is equally fascinating and nauseating. Buyer beware: you may be getting a lot more than you paid for. Most disturbing of all is our food industry's self-serving, powerful sway over our government. For those of us who care about our health and the welfare of future Americans, it's clear that the time to act is now.

I plan on giving this docu/movie to everyone this holiday season. A real eye opener. What you don't know can hurt you and I am so proud of the farmers that dared speak out against the "industry" of Monsanto. Bravo to all, we are in your debt. This movie should air on PBS as a public service, that's how necessary the information contained in it is.
