Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner examines how mammoth corporations have taken over all aspects of the food chain in the United States, from the farms where our food is grown to the chain restaurants and supermarkets where it's sold. Narrated by author and activist Eric Schlosser, the film features interviews with average Americans about their dietary habits, commentary from food experts like Michael Pollan and unsettling footage shot inside large-scale animal processing plants.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Food Inc is a food documentary about the unsavory side of the food industry. One of the best quotes is the farmer that supplies pork for Chipotle about letting pigs be pigs and chickens be chickens. Not meant to be funny, but pretty hysterical! Something that everyone should see and a reminder that you vote about where your food comes from three times a day. Buy local, buy from farmers you know. We can all do it if we choose to.
The movie was very informative of how the food industry really works. I'm definitely going to be looking out for what is used in food. The part where the man was prepping chickens for sale out side, and we learned that his chickens were less hazardous than ones sold in supermarkets was enlightening to how messed up the food industry is. Another enlightening scene was when it was mentioned that ecoli was present in beef due to how they are being fed and stabled and how that ecoli caused the death of that young boy was incredibly saddening. I have a nephew and now I worry for his safety, even more so now because I have to worry about whether or not his food will kill him.
the movie was very informational. i learned things i didn't know about the food industries and it makes me sick what they do to our food. i think the food industries should find other ways to make our food or at least try to feed the animals properly then giving them food that they don't eat and changing their eating habits. also the food industries should help promote healthy eating habits instead of selling bad calories for less then a head of broccoli. instead of giving chickens hormones and giving them cramp spaces let them grow naturally and have space for them to grow. they should also let major food industries like Tyson and produce grow their own chickens the way they want to instead of forcing farmers to grow chickens for them.
movie was good and now I know how animals are being abused. I now know how companies are making billions are dollars. Cows, chickens, and pigs are being killed for food. I understand that we need food in order to live but leaving chickens so they can suffer and die on their own. And cows are being killed brutally. Pigs are being hit and killed to death.now i know how companies process the food into packages. this movie is very educational.There were illegal workers that were making good money, they got arrested and they did it to take care of their families. And there were some problems with animals because a little boy died from eating a hamburger because of the disease.
