Sort of feels like it's erected solely on paranoia, but still, a, for the most part, factual look on the food industry itself. I just don't really find it wise to freak out about the whole ordeal, but then provide no insight on what you could do to stop it. Also, how will people who live on minimum wage afford organic foods this film so heavily praises? Liked the overall movie, but it fell short in explanations.

the tagline sums it up better than any review "you'll never look at dinner the same way"...

without these mega facorries , almost every human would die but if every dutch man would only eat <a href=’’http://aperitiefhapjes.org’’>aperitiefhapjes</a> then these megafactories would colapse one by one

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.

“A culture that just views a pig as a pile of protoplasmic, inanimate structure to be manipulated by whatever creative design the human can foist on that critter will probably view individuals within its community and other cultures within the community of nations with the same type of disdain and disrespect and controlling-type mentality.”

This film is important to watch. As Hazel Hills says below, everyone in America should be required to watch this film, for the extreme least of allowing us to consider alternatives to a food system that is unsustainable, unhealthy and unkind.

A very prescient expose on the food industry as a whole, Food, Inc. brings countless facts and figures which may otherwise go unnoticed to the forefront of American moviegoers' consciousness skillfully, and empowers viewers to know that their collective impact can determine the course of their future nutrition.

While the tales of Monsanto and the ability to now patent any food that is genetically modified were a jolt to my complacency, I found the most horrific sections were those that dealt directly with the slaughter of animals. I wish I had the courage and where-with-all to finally go vegan, or at least lacto-vegatarian.

I was impressed by the opening alone. Best documentary I've watched since anything from Errol Morris. Which reminds me ...

Michael Pollan's books are better, but this doc had some great moments. Although, if you didn't know most of this stuff already, you have been living under a rock - or, you are the type of person who actually eats at McDonalds.

Awful film. While it offers some interesting information (and scary, scary images), it's stuff I already read in Schlosser's (interviewed here in all his camera hogging, hypocritical glory) book. I knew a lot of this stuff, and the film just plods along, skimming the surface. There were so many interesting parts to this doc, but it just skims the surface, with bad structure and cheap editing. It was a lazy film.

Very well succeed in exposing the complexity of our food chain. Going to the supermarket is a kind of vote, as one of the producer (of organic food) says. "Food Inc." is the definite film about food consciousness, not that kid's joke "Super Size Me" (interesting experiment, though) or even "Fast Food Nation", the most forgettable Linklater's film.

Many complain that muckraking documentaries can be detrimental; while exposing serious and pressing concerns, films like Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, offer little hope; and often leave the viewer with a sense of impotence and powerlessness. This is not the case with Food, Inc. http://documentary-dvds.suite101.com/article.cfm/food_inc_dvd_review#ixzz0VrPvpzYB
