FOOD, Inc.
How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Emmy award-winner Richard Kenner lifts the veil on the food industry... With shocking results! You are what you eat. It is a simple expression that bears scary implications as you watch the acclaimed documentary, FOOD, Inc. Director Robert Kenner draws upon the searing reportage of authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) to explore how modern developments in food production pose grave risks to our health and environment. These writers aren't radicals or even vegetarians (Schlosser admits that his favourite
meal is a hamburger and fries), but they are crusaders when it comes to exposing problems and naming offenders. There are stories of heartbreak and outrage, but the film carefully channels these emotions towards opportunities for activism. Watching FOOD, Inc. gives you a strong appetite for better meals.
