It is a sad truth that much of the North American food system is unappetizing and, frankly, more than a little grotesque. Food, Inc., directed by Robert Kenner and co-produced by Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser, is the latest food expose to hit British cinema screens.
The 93-minute documentary is part ‘Our Daily Bread,’ with a dash of ‘The World According to Monsanto’ and a liberal mixing of ‘Fast Food Nation’ and ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma’ by Michael Pollan.
The result is a haunting look into the North American food system – one of the most corporate controlled, unhealthiest, cruellest food systems on the planet.
If you don’t know much about how most of the food in supermarkets gets to your table, you need to see this film. If you’ve already educated yourself on the horrific practices of America’s food industry, this film will inspire, empower, enrage and connect you with the unsung heroes who are out there doing something about it.
You can too by voting with your mouth three times a day.
