Storyline:
The current method of raw food production is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since the 1950s. The production of food overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand years prior. Controlled primarily by a handful of multinational corporations, the global food production business - with an emphasis on the business - has as its unwritten goals production of large quantities of food at low direct inputs (most often subsidized) resulting in enormous profits, which in turn results in greater control of the global supply of food sources within these few companies. Health and safety (of the food itself, of the animals produced themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines, and of the consumers actually eating the food) are often overlooked by the companies, and are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences...

Wake up and stop eating at the government feed bins. Haven't you ever wondered why there are so many cases of cancer? Heart disease? etc.... And why is it that our grandparents, great grandparents ate red meat , potatoes, eggs and white bread and lived to a ripe old age without the latest medical care? No processed foods that's why! Chickens were allowed to roam around and eat what came natural. Same with our cows. Start going to your local farmer's markets and you will be surprised how the food tastes. It's time to take our food back. Our own government is killing us. We need our good ole local farmers back. And we need to get the corporations out of our foods. Maybe we need to stop being such ravenous pigs. We wouldn't need such mass production of chicken and beef if started eating more of what God put on this planet for us. You are all going to stand before your maker and have to explain why you did nothing to save that poor chicken from suffering. Why not save one of God's animals?

This movie provides very important information about the disgusting nature of our industrial food complex. The sections featuring Virginia Farmer Joel Salatin and Michael Pollen (author of The Omnivore's Dilemma--very good book, btw) are superb, but the producers of the movie seem to believe more government regulations are the answer and frame the production to meet this requirement. The truth is (and Salatin would agree) all the regulations have pushed local farms into the clutches of agribusiness because the government has made it prohibitively expensive or illegal to feed "local". My wife and I are firmly behind "local" food movement, but not more government regulations; hence the review---half was propaganda and half was vital information about our food supply---hence everyone should see this movie.

This is an excellent, if not extremely disturbing, view of America's food supply. It does a great job of explaining the farmer's dilemma, and how corporate greed and government blunders have led our food supply down a very dangerous path. It also highlights the power of the consumer to drive change, including an interview with Walmart buyers who explain why they have decided to shift to organic and hormone-free milk. If consumers can influence a corporate giant like Walmart, we can certainly influence the agribusiness as a whole. This is an important film for anybody who cares about the food they consume and the health, human rights, and environmental impacts influenced by every food purchase.

This movie shows clearly what the few multinational corporations controlling virtually all of our food production do NOT want the public to see or know about:
- How unlike the picture of the nice, rural family farm on so many food packages the actual production of our food is, and how much closer to a factory assemply line.
- Chicken mass producers are forced deeper and deeper into debt.
- How dirty, unsanitary, and disease prone - especially ecoli - these huge factory farms for beef, pork, and chickens are
- How corn has been developed and now is included in over 75% of our processed food
- How McDonalds and now most of the food industry hire cheap minority (and now illegal immigrant) help to do the same simple task over and over again
- biologically developed seeds "owned" by Monsanto place formerly friendly neighbor farmers against each other
- How much power we consumers DO have through our choices of what to buy
MOVIES REVIEWER
Weeks ago I attended the advance press preview of this well-made illuminating documentary.
FOOD INC. is a expose on the American food production industry and process - heavy focus on the beef, poultry, soy and corn production while tying-in how the restrictive (our US government's) USDA and FDA's regulations AND politics affects our food and agricultural production practices.
There are many unsavory moments in the movie but the truth does hurt AND enlighten - cows and pigs mistreated; genetically-engineered chicken cooped-up in hot and crowded chicken houses; huge food and chemical conglomerates' under-handed business tactics; etc.
And balancing all that are interviews with various authors and 'green'-activists plus a remarkably blunt upfront mesmerizing farmer, Joel Salatin - whose humor, philosophies and business practices are laudably admirable.
If you care about your health and what you eat - GO SEE this important life-changing movie.
