Food, Inc.

I would probably mark this movie under the category of “Things I wish I never knew”, but it looks like a real eye opener.  Food, Inc. is a documentary by filmmaker Robert Kenner that looks into modern food production, and the role our goverment and corporations play in it.  There have been some criticisms that its perspective is too one-sided, but that is usually the case with any film that challenges the status quo.  The film’s U.S. premiere took place in New York on June 4, and it is currently playing in limited theaters across the country.  You can check out Food, Inc.’s official website to learn more, and find out if it’s being shown at your local theater – or you can just find it on the Internet somewhere for free…

Big Thanks to Afroman Jack for bringing this movie to my attention.
