Synopsis

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. –amazon

it's not that i didn't know the basics of the food industry before but i guess in my idealism, i didn't realize to what extent all of the lack of integrity and authenticity it caused on almost every type of food. i can't believe the injustice done to producers who want to grow food the right way and to the consumers who are made victims, especially kevin. exceptional film.

It's an insightful film, made all the stronger in its bias by the majority of the questioned refusing to answer. Shot beautifully and edited to within an inch of its life - it does at times appear a little too glossy for its own good - Food, Inc. is a welcome addition to the burgeoning canon of modern documentary. It's documentaries such as this that reminds of a reality worth watching on the big and little screen.

Describes one of the multiple syndromes of a sick and decadent society. Highly recommended.

Food Inc.

I think I’d feel better about this film if the film got into more detail about all foods and not just the meat industry. I don’t think it was the intent of the filmmakers to paint a sympathetic picture…  read review
