Synopsis

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.

Ersbel Oraph I have seen this years ago.Now I have come across it by accident. I had no idea I have seen it. So much for memorable work.A conspiracy? Yes, but from the producers. Watching a lecture by Peter Singer some time ago and he was talking about the food industry not wanting to have people film on location. He knew that back in the 1980s. The producers of this feature show us how naive they were: they have chosen the biggest producer of meat, they have found someone willing to show the insides of his farm and poof! the big bad company censors the will of a free speech or something. So here we - the production team - have the footage from a member of our church. The type of farm is different, but what the h***? Don't get me wrong, probably things are a lot worse in reality. Yet this is a shallow, alarmist take that just feeds off the conspiracy.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
mariopaz-31368 this movie was very educational about foods.now i know how companies process the meat we eat. and they way they process it is very disturbing.i am going to try to change my eating style because that food doesn't look very good. they way they get their workers is illegal. and they don't even get bagged the workers do. and it blows me because those workers have families they have to take care of. and they just get rid of them like its nothing. i hope the companies get bagged and go out of business. you know karma is a very bad person and it will get back at them whether they want to or not. so this is my review of this movie and overall it was good and educational.
jesse-easton This movie is a really good movie if you wanna learn a few things about the food industry and how much money the businesses make and how they farm their food. I learned a few things myself. If you like food, then you wanna watch this to see what you are putting in your mouth, this movie explains a lot about good food and what chemicals are on the food. E-Coli being one of them, is a harmful poisoning you can get from eating food, if you get E-Coli then that means the food company that the food you are eating is not doing part of their job, because they are suppose to put ammonia on the foods to kill all the E-Coli bacteria so nobody will get E-Coli anymore. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes food, or wants to work in the food industry so that they will know what they will be up against and how much money you will make.
kaykaye I really loved the movie . it was good , they should make a part 2. the movie taught me a lot the movie allowed me to consider what Im putting into my body The film posits that the industry doesn't want us to know the truth; Pollan states that there is even an effort afoot to make it illegal to publish photos of any industrial food operation. Yet despite the fact that the subject matter could easily lend itself to a grim, preachy or even alarmist attitude, Food, Inc. succeeds by engendering an uplifting spirit of hope in its audience. The film documents how government agencies act in collusion with agri- business, and have gradually eroded the stringency applied to regulations and inspections. This comes as no surprise as we are shown a parade of individuals who graduated from big-Aug lobbyists to government officials.
