Food, Inc

“There is this deliberate veil, this curtain that’s drawn between us and
where our food is coming from.  The industry doesn’t want you to know the truth about what you’re eating because if you knew, you might not want to eat it.”  - Food, Inc

It’s finally here! I heard the buzz about this film - here’s the trailer…

How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and
serve to our families? Though our food appears the same—a tomato still looks
like a tomato—it has been radically transformed.

In Food, Inc., producer-director Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric
Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) lift
the veil on the U.S. food industry – an industry that has often put profit ahead of
consumer health, the livelihoods of American farmers, the safety of workers and
our own environment. 

With the use of animation and compelling graphics, the filmmakers expose the
highly mechanized, Orwellian underbelly that’s been deliberately hidden from the
American consumer.

They reveal how a handful of corporations control our nation’s food supply.
Though the companies try to maintain the myth that our food still comes from
farms with red barns and white picket fences, our food is actually raised on
massive “factory farms” and processed in mega industrial plants.  The animals
grow fatter faster and are designed to fit the machines that slaughter them. 
Tomatoes are bred to be shipped without bruising and to stay edible for months.
The system is highly productive, and Americans are spending less on food than
ever before.  But at what cost?
