“Don’t take another bite until you see Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary.” Rolling Stone
Filmmaker Robert Kenner exposes the highly-mechanized underbelly that is our nation’s food supply. From bigger-breasted chickens and herbicide-resistant soybeans to new strains of E. coli, Americans are riddled with widespread obesity and an epidemic level of diabetes. Featuring interviews with experts like Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) along with forward-thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield’s Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms’ Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising truths about what we eat, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. (2008, 93 min.)
