Watch Food, Inc. For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This Oscar nominated documentary probes into the contemporary American food industry in which high profits are valued over producing safe and healthy products. The film treads some very familiar territory as it looks at the inhumane ways animals are farmed in bulk and the way certain seeds are genetically modified, but more often than not, the film is insightful, even utterly fascinating on occasion as it gets into the debate over transparent food labeling. The film does, however, frequently feel unfocused as it rather randomly jumps between food poisoning, the high cost of vegetables compared to fast food, the gradually fattening of chickens over the years and the list goes on. It is a bit of maudlin affair at times too with over-the-top melodramatic background music for such moments as a diabetic father sighing over how expensive broccoli is to buy for his kids (who would really want to eat it!?). The choice to conclude the documentary with a whole lot of inspirational slogans thrown on screen additionally comes off as a little awkward. For all its drawbacks, 'Food Inc.' nevertheless remains rather riveting to view. All of the interview subjects are clearly passionate about their causes. Complacent as the majority of us may well be regarding what we consume, the film provides a worthwhile look at those who care a lot and their very valid reasons why.

This is a wide-ranging look at the world of modern food production and consumption. Since the 1950s, the farm has changed from the pastoral family-run to multi-national industrial production. The fast-food chain revolutionized consumption. The style of cheap and uniform food leads to the same philosophy spreading throughout the system from start to finish. This also looks at safety and ethnicity of the food system.This is great information being pulled together into digestible nuggets. The subject is so wide-spread that it's impressive the movie is able to be understood. It can be overwhelming but the movie keeps it all straight-forward. I would like more time explaining excessive antibiotic use but I can understand that it's too complicated. The personal stories are very effective at giving humanity to the material.

the current method of raw food productions is largely a response to the growth of the fast food industry since long time ago. The production of foods overall has more drastically changed since that time than the several thousand year prior.This movie show us the process of health and safety of the animals producing themselves, of the workers on the assembly lines,and of the consumers actually eating the food are often overlooked by government in an effort to provide cheap food regardless of these negative consequences.Many of the changes are based o advancements in science and technology, but often have negative sides effects.The vie has many fact on our life because it gave many opportunity to see how the food that we eat has been cook and made.

Kenner takes us into the world of processed food. Mistreatment towards animals, unhealthy practices and big time lawsuits are presented well in this documentary. It was a good watch when it came to unraveling the mystery of how many bad food processing practices came to be and how it impacts us everyday citizens. It also shines a light on the abuse of farmers and the high costs it presents. This is a very informative documentary. A good watch It is important that we know what this is about. The film also presents a lack of integrity from food corporations by showing how they declined to be interviewed to discuss the many issues revolving around food processing.
