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. 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.

    • Food Inc opens limited today and nationwide June 19. Please, in tribute to the environmental destruction Monsanto and companies like them have wrought on this beautiful planet for their own profit, let's support this movie and go see it and talk it up and tell everyone the truth about our food:To take our food and control us, which we are NOT going to let them do.

      Oh, and please feel free to discuss and tag your entries on this to the Sustainable Agriculture Channel today. Today will be Food Day and also Get Out The Truth About Monsanto Day on this channel.

    • I've long made my choices on what I eat. I buy locally, organic, and avoid processed foods.
      However, I feel so pessimistic on this subject. Of the people I know, I would believe that only a handful of people know what GM foods are, even less know why people are concerned about them. and GM foods are just one issue of concern.

    • One thing I learned in school that is not prevalent anymore, is "let the buyer beware" it seems that concept has completely left the country.
      Stop buying packaged or processed food, it is, in all aspects, "un-natural" to the human body
      Buy local.
      Buy organic.
      Support "slow food"

    • Yes. Yes. Yes.

      Shame on the FDA for suggesting that processed foodlike things are even remotely as nutritious and digestible as actual food:

      "At the chemical level, all foods are understood only in terms of the various quantities of nutrients they contain, and so even processed foods may be considered to be ‘healthier’ for you than wholefoods if they contain the appropriate quantities of some nutrients. "

      I don't care how much Vitamin C or Omega 3s they pump into a Twinkie. It's never going to be better for you than real food.

    • Actually for many of us, this movie explains what we have been talking about/blogging about for years. The ability to reach a huge group of people with this type of medium however, is wonderful. Perhaps we wouldn't need movies like this if we truly had a government, media, and corporate world that was open and truthful.

    • More on this important film.

      And yes, buying local helps tremendously.
      It's also time to push this government for labelling of GMOs and giving us some truth about the food we eat. For me food policy is the gateway to a more productive healthcare policy.

    • You people voted for all this medical marijuana bullshit before you voted for this? This is good info. A lot more relative to all of your "lives" than medical marijuana. And I smoke mad amounts of bud. I voted down all of the medical marijuana stories and voted this one up
