Product Description
Food, Inc. lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing how 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. Food, Inc. reveals surprising - and often shocking truths - about what we eat, how it's produced and who we have become as a nation.

For most Americans, the ideal meal is fast, cheap, and tasty. Food, Inc. examines the costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact. Director Robert Kenner explores the subject from all angles, talking to authors, advocates, farmers, and CEOs, like co-producer Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), Gary Hirschberg (Stonyfield Farms), and Barbara Kowalcyk, who's been lobbying for more rigorous standards since E. coli claimed the life of her two-year-old son. The filmmaker takes his camera into slaughterhouses and factory farms where chickens grow too fast to walk properly, cows eat feed pumped with toxic chemicals, and illegal immigrants risk life and limb to bring these products to market at an affordable cost. If eco-docs tends to preach to the converted, Kenner presents his findings in such an engaging fashion that Food, Inc. may well reach the very viewers who could benefit from it the most: harried workers who don't have the time or income to read every book and eat non-genetically modified produce every day. Though he covers some of the same ground as Super-Size Me and King Korn, Food Inc. presents a broader picture of the problem, and if Kenner takes an understandably tough stance on particular politicians and corporations, he's just as quick to praise those who are trying to be responsible--even Wal-Mart, which now carries organic products. That development may have more to do with economics than empathy, but the consumer still benefits, and every little bit counts. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 worth a watch March 20, 2010
V. Bradley (atlanta, ga)
Food Inc enlightened me mostly about the lives/death of chickens and the industry greed to make a profit.
won't look at food the same March 19, 2010
Teacher Jeanne (Alta Loma, California)
I have totally changed how I see the world of agriculture. I will not look at food the same way. I have already stopped buying certain things. If I am going to eat an animal it must have had a good life first. If it will sacrifice for me then I should sacrifice a little more money so they can live better. I won't eat a chicken that has not see the light of day!
It changed the way I view eating! March 16, 2010
TTCmom (Huntington, IN)
This definitely changed the way I view eating. I am thankful this movie came out and I plan to pass it onto all my friends.
 So... March 16, 2010
Ms. Faye (Fairfax Station, VA, USA)
After I saw this doc, I stopped eating meat. I know that wasn't the creator's intention, but it's been a month and a half now and I see no reason to start back up so.... (I do still eat fish though).
Outstanding! March 16, 2010
C. Tornow
An absolute MUST see! Definitely gave me a new perspective on what I choose to eat.
