"The corporate food industry has a lot to hide."
how much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families ?
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.
"Food, Inc. is one of the most important food films ever made. If you live in North America or eat any of their food products – you must see this film."
Eat a meal before watching Food, Inc., as you won’t be eating for several days afterwards. It is a sad truth that much of the North American food system is unappetizing and, frankly, more than a little grotesque. Food, Inc., directed by Robert Kenner and co-produced by Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser, is the latest food expose to hit the mass market.
"After watching Food, Inc. you’ll lose your appetite but gain valuable insight into North American food production."
The Social Action campaign for Food, Inc. is tackling the issues such as childhood obesity by advocating for healthier school lunches and menu labeling laws, encouraging organic and sustainable food purchases, and protections for farm workers.
