Movie Info
Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner examines how mammoth corporations have taken over all aspects of the food chain in the United States, from the farms where our food is grown to the chain restaurants and supermarkets where it's sold. Narrated by author and activist Eric Schlosser, the film features interviews with average Americans about their dietary habits, commentary from food experts like Michael Pollan and unsettling footage shot inside large-scale animal processing plants.

We are what we eat, and this is an informative documentary that exposes some disturbing - yet not exactly unknown - truths about the food industry in the USA and shows how vital it is for people to start consuming natural/organic products in order to live healthy lives.

In this documentary on the american food industry, you get an inside view at where your food comes from. Seeing what Monsanto does to the farmers, what IBP is doing to the cattle, and what Tyson is doing to the chickens, you may never eat again. I know most people would just say that they can't live without their meat, and it doesn't bother them where it comes from, or what's in it. Being a vegetarian, this film opened my eyes to the prospect that even my organic produce may be full of harmful chemicals. Some of my classmates went vegetarian for life after seeing this disturbing, deeply affecting documentary. It's an important one to see. Watch it!

I had avoided watching Food, Inc. for quite some time. It's very rare for me to completely avoid watching a film, and there is always a very good reason behind it. Before watching it, I was satisfied with being ignorant about where my food really comes from because I knew I would not like the answer. I was absolutely right. Seeing a "farmer" pick up dozens of dead chicken carcasses and then transport them away echoes the Holocaust but for animals. Seeing a chicken out of breath due to rapid body growth is horribly sad and heart breaking. When they said you would never look at your food the same way again, they were right. One of my favorite all time foods is Perdue's chicken nuggets, and I will never be able to eat them the same way again. Food, Inc. is an incredibly alarming, disturbing, interesting and necessary viewing for anyone that questions the source of their food.

Food, Inc. is overly cautionary and doesn't contain as many groundbreakings truths as it's been made out to. Luckily, it's chock full of interesting facts, and it's helped along by sharp direction and an informative script.
