About
The Movie:
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the
veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the
highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden
from the American consumer with the consent of our
government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. 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. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the
perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean
seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also
have new strains of E. coli-the harmful bacteria
that causes illness for an estimated 73,000
Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread
obesity, particularly among children, and an
epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric
Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The
Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's
Manifesto) along with forward thinking social
entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and
Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals
surprising-and often shocking truths-about what we
eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a
nation and where we are going from here. |
