Food, Inc.

2008. USA. Directed by Robert Kenner. Our nation's food supply is largely controlled by a few corporations that often put profits ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of American farmers, or the safety of workers and the environment. Food, Inc. exposes the highly mechanized underbelly of our nation's food industry, which creates "perfect" foods that also contribute to obesity, diabetes, and the proliferation of harmful bacteria. Footage from the field and interviews with experts such as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and forward-thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg reveal surprising facts about what we eat and how it's produced.
