Food, Inc.
Below is a brief trailer to Robert Kenner’s film Food, Inc.
A related interview with Robert Kenner and author Michael Pollan is also worth a look. I am unable to embed the Youtube clip, but you can watch it here.
Those familiar with Veoh can also watch the full film.
Food, Inc. came out in 2008, but I’ve just recently gotten around to watching the entire film. It focuses primarily on how food production has gone from being locally developed to being controlled by multinational corporations.
It is definitely worth a look.

Ross, you can find the full film on Youtube. Here is part one – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5e6kSAGnkk
You will see links to each subsequent part on the right side of the Youtube video player under Related Videos.
Im gonna watch the whole video. I’ve seen some part of it a while ago, but forgot all about it. So good for this reminder.
It’s a good movie, should be an eye-opener for a lot of people. For a more dramatic movie, and possibly offensive to a lot of people, check out Earthlings, which is also viewable on the web.
That movie was definitely an eye opener.. i went and grabbed it right after ross updated his status.
Noels – I thought it was pretty offensive.
And those poor saps who struggle so hard to make a living and for a huge company to come in and shut them down like they dont have bills to pay or families to feed was just so powerful and just reminds me of what kind of world we live in.
In America you’ll never be completely free.
Great movie! Thanks for the post Ross.
There’s only one word for it; Evil.
Monsanto Monsanto is one of the worst offenders out there.
A part solution is to get started growing your own food.
Support local farmers who raise free-range animals and naturally grown produce. Vote with every meal, as the film advised. As consumers, we can change the culture with every food purchase, with every dollar diverted away from corn and soy-filled junk.
Thanks for posting Ross. I have been looking forward to seeing this one. I also recommend The Future of Food which can be seen on Hulu. That one really freaked me out.
This was a good one, 2X on The Future of Food. One thing that I wished they would have done, other then the obvious, show me a few pics of stuff that is commercially available in stores that will be the least harmful, i.e, brands and companies.
This is a massive eye opener and we need to make a change, not only the way we eat and live but also to remove the power from the few and distribute it back to the many.
Very interesting, scary, but interesting.
I was talking with a friend of mine about the meats we eat in this country. He recommended that I try buffalo meet. It is low in fat and has never been fed hormones. Has anyone tried it?
