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. iFood, Inc./i 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 (iFast Food Nation/i), Michael Pollan (iThe Omnivore's Dilemma/i), 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 iFood, Inc./i 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 iSuper-Size Me/i and iKing Korn/i, iFood Inc./i 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. i--Kathleen C. Fennessy/i

 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.
 Food as we know it March 16, 2010
John W. Oliphant Jr.
The documentary was informative but lacked "what to do now" other than trying to buy organic.The change in our food system needs to be done from the top down.Like big business is going to let that ever happen..
Very informative March 16, 2010
Many Worlds (France)
must see documentary on the dire state of the food supply, particularly in the US. Watch this documentary and you will undoubtedly change your eating habits, if you want to be more healthy.
