Food, Inc. - Movie Review

Food, Inc. (PG) 94 minutes B-
Meat is Murder

Starring Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosserhberg, Gary Hirschberg, and Joe Salatin

I still like chicken after watching Food, Inc. but I'm not so sure chickens like human beings. This documentary is a not so gentle reminder of where our food comes from and what it goes through before landing on our plates.

Some may find this documentary shocking, appalling and/or enlightening, but more importantly it's further evidence that most of us need to make better choices about the foods we buy and put into our bodies. As well as brings awareness of how politics (corporations, government agencies, etc...) dictates consumer health, farmers and the safety of our food workers.

The film is dry at times and feels a bit longer than 94 minutes, but I really think this is a documentary that should been seen by the masses.
