Here is the “Food, Inc.” plot description:
In “Food, Inc.,” filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry. He exposes the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the U.S. consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies (the USDA and FDA).
Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.
We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds and even tomatoes that won’t go bad. But we also have new strains of E. coli: the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity (particularly among children) and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (“Fast Food Nation”), Michael Pollan (“The Omnivore’s Dilemma”) along with forward-thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms’ Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms’ Joe Salatin, “Food, Inc.” reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

I prefer that there be no
I prefer that there be no red remaining after I cook/before I eat meat
red meat
I like my meat to be cooked all the way. Red meat looks unhealthy to me because I call tell either it doesn’t look right or not all the way cooked. I can’t wait to see this movie because I want to see this kind of movie for years now. Can I have screening pass for this movie, PLEASE?
Food, Inc.
I eat red meat a bit, from time to time and always feel bloated afterword — you do the math.
can't wait for this movie!
as a vegetarian, my thoughts on eating read meat are: I’m glad I don’t!! my diet may be unhealthy but at least I don’t have to worry about where that meat’s coming from
I really would like to see this movie, I hope tickets are still available!
Red Meat
Red meat is AWESOME. I love cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, and mayo only. Yum!
