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.
Amazon.com:
For most Americans, the ideal meal is fast, cheap, and tasty. Food, Inc. 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 (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), 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 Food, Inc. 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 Super-Size Me and King Corn, Food Inc. 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. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This video will change the way you look at food. It will also alert you to how we are being taken advantage of by the large food producers. They look at us just about the same way they look at a beef cow. The ominous revelation of one multi-national company taking control of all the seeds in the world and crushing anyone who stands in their way is breath-taking. The callous disregard of small children dying of e-coli in favor of relaxed inspections and regulations for the sake of profits is painfully ... Read More

Everything about this movie and the book tie-in, is astonishing. Much better than Al Gore's movie for that matter. I have shown it to my family members so they can make better choices in the food they buy and eat. Must see!

This is a fabulous Movie, and it is certain to change your life. This documentary explains some of the reasons not previously disclosed for our national problems with weight gain. This shows how apparently up to 90% of our soybeans are controlled by a chemical company, and are apparently sprayed with roundup as they grow. We need to understand what is happening with the food supply, and how it affects us as well as the animals and crops. Excellent. The realistic parts are tough showing actual animals ... Read More

I began eating a little better a few weeks before my knee replacement, lost 12 to 15 lbs. Had a bad reaction to anesthesia and/or pain meds, so I didn't eat for 5 days. The 2nd day home I watched this movie, it made such an impact, I've eaten meat only once since and have dropped another 45 lbs. I FEEL GREAT! I offer this movie to anyone that will watch it, so far all have come away with changed diets, if not lives. The movie doesn't try to convince you to eat a particular way, it just presents the information ... Read More

DVD arrived timely and in great shape. Nicely packaged. Subject matter difficult, as I had been warned. Glad to have bought the DVD used, as I'll pass it on rather than keep it for future viewing.
