Food Inc (2009)
A documentary film by Robert Kenner from Hungry For Change

Kenner lifts the veil on the nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that’s been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.

The 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.

America has bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but also has new strains of e coli — the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.

Americans are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

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.
