Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner examines how mammoth corporations have taken over all aspects of the food chain in the United States, from the farms where our food is grown to the chain restaurants and supermarkets where it's sold. Narrated by author and activist Eric Schlosser, the film features interviews with average Americans about their dietary habits, commentary from food experts like Michael Pollan and unsettling footage shot inside large-scale animal processing plants.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Food Inc is a very influential documentary about the food we are eating today. It gives us insight on the healthy, but mostly the unhealthy things we are consuming on a regular basis. It talked about many different topics which were organized in a way that allowed the viewer to understand more clearly. The film started off by giving facts about how the average grocery store contains 47,000 different products, and how some of the freshest of these items are modified. It gave the tomato as an example. In today's day in age, the tomato is available all throughout the year. This is because of all the preservatives that they use in it. Most of us do not understand on what we are consuming, and the side affects it can cause the human body. Later throughout it talked about how farmers are mistreated, and how they have to abide by the rule of the major corporations. This causes them to mass produce, and to take less notice to sanitation. With less care to sanitation, the more bacteria can spread throughout the system. They even stated there people were e coli strands from spinach. One day a small child ate 3 hamburgers, and within a short time period he was dead. It was so tragic and sad to hear that story because the boy had no idea what was happening. Overall it helped me take notice about things that our society needs to do better to stop these major corporations from running the country. We need the old lifestyle of farming back where cows do not eat corn, but eat in grasslands.

This is a wide-ranging look at the world of modern food production and consumption. Since the 1950s, the farm has changed from the pastoral family-run to multi-national industrial production. The fast-food chain revolutionized consumption. The style of cheap and uniform food leads to the same philosophy spreading throughout the system from start to finish. This also looks at safety and ethnicity of the food system.This is great information being pulled together into digestible nuggets. The subject is so wide-spread that it's impressive the movie is able to be understood. It can be overwhelming but the movie keeps it all straight-forward. I would like more time explaining excessive antibiotic use but I can understand that it's too complicated. The personal stories are very effective at giving humanity to the material.

Finally, the ugly thruth behind the perfect appearance and pretty wrapper is being revealed.This documentary really opened my eyes and answered my questions.The faster , the bigger and most importantly the cheaper we produce food the better.The dumber,poorer our one-task workers are, the better.This is the motto of the American food industry.I was astonished to find out facts like"in your hamburger you can find meat from over 1000 cows" or "most chickens never see the sunlight".While I was watching this well-done documentary, I became aware of the corruption behind a cheap, yet tasty burger.It awakened me from my sweet ignorance and reminded me that the world truly is spinning around money. None the less,"Food inc" had the right people , the right stories and the right facts to keep me interested.

this movie was very educational about foods.now i know how companies process the meat we eat. and they way they process it is very disturbing.i am going to try to change my eating style because that food doesn't look very good. they way they get their workers is illegal. and they don't even get bagged the workers do. and it blows me because those workers have families they have to take care of. and they just get rid of them like its nothing. i hope the companies get bagged and go out of business. you know karma is a very bad person and it will get back at them whether they want to or not. so this is my review of this movie and overall it was good and educational.
