Everyone that eats food should see this movie! Food, Inc. is a powerful documentary that provides a look at the meat industry and production of produce in the U.S.
The movie is not intended to gross people out and turn them into vegetarians, it just provides an opportunity for Americans to see where their food is coming from. However, you may be influenced to buy foods that are grown locally, in season, and organic. The documentary also exposes the big corporations that have not only put farmers out of work, but sued them for everything they own for violating ridiculous laws.
Some interesting facts I learned from this movie:
-Over 90% of our food products contain corn in some form.
-One hamburger patty can contain meat from over a thousand different cows.
-Many meat-production companies recruit mexican citizens to illegally immigrate to the U.S. offering claims that they will be employed and safe from deportation (which turns out to be untrue).
Food, Inc. was created in 2008 by Robert Kenner
