    FOOD INC. - very palatable movie! Rating: 88 out of 100. (Based on advance press preview)

    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.

    Actual GRADE: B-PLUS

    Food, Inc.

    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

    Food, Inc. - A Must on your Shopping List

    "Food, Inc." is excellent! A documentary that is thought-provoking, enlightening and, most of all, disturbing (scary might even be a better description). I can't imagine anyone would see this film and not look at grocery shopping and the food industry in a completely different way. "Food, Inc." pulls back the curtain on how our food makes it's way to the dinner table - especially focusing on how it's grown, processed, manufactured and marketed to consumers. So many of us take for granted all of the food available to us, but don't seem to care much about its impact on our economy, our health or our planet. This documentary strives to encourage more people to take action the next time they're at the checkout stand. We need to ask more questions and demand higher standards from the food industry regarding the quality, safety and sustainability of our food supply.

    Anyone who eats should see this film!
