This flick exploits the mass manufacturing of food leaving
you with a loss of appetite. 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.
