What is it gonna take for Americans to wake up and make a \"CHANGE\" starting with this totally corupt government. They continue to find... ys to take away social needs all the while they spend \"TRILLIONS\" on wars with no end guarantee. Lets face it Government has out grown itself. This movie hilights a meer portion of the real conditions of this Country. Full Review

I hesitated a moment with 5 stars, only because a few scenes gave me some sleepness nights, but these scenes and the honesty of them cannot... be ignored. If you want to live in lala land, don'*******. If you want to prolong the lives of your loved ones and your own...if you want to live in a country that does not put greed and profit above human decency and fairness to all living creatures, please watch this and be courageous! I will never again buy meat from a grocery store. I will eat less meat, but it will be organic...I will eat more vegatables they will be organic to the extent I can afford them, and buy them at farmer's markets, and use my 1/3 acre lot to begin to grow veggies for my family. The movie had a profound effect on us all, especially my husband who is from Ireland and he couldn't believe we have come to this point as a country. The animals in Ireland are raised humanely and they produce delicious miilk, butter, eggs, and meat. Garbage in, garbage out. We are what we eat, and now I see why so many are so sick. Don't be afraid to be informed! Then take action and be proud of yourself! Full Review

I wish everyone could see this. It totally makes sense of it all. Why "we" are obese, have diabetes like no other time in history, and so... much food borne illness! I cook for a childcare center and have been trying to serve only food that is free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives--high fructose corn syrup too. This film has given me the inspiration to press on! I would like my supervisors to see this so they will not bug me too much about food cost. The benefits outweigh any extra costs associated with eating healthier food and the kids like my homemade graham crackers better than any boxed ones! I lLOVE the organic farmer in this movie. I wish his farm was near me. I like how he honors the "pigness of the pigs"! The whole concept they talked about how "you vote every time an item is slid across the scanner" that really gives me hope that as consumers we have the power to influence the industry by the choices we make at the store. The fact that Walmart took RBST out of thier dairy can tell you that much. Make good choices at the supermarket and we can change things. I will definitely NEVER buy another meat product from the grocery (or should I say grossery) store. (unless it is grass fed, organic) Full Review

Food, Inc. is hard to shake, because days after you've seen it, you may find yourself eating something -- a cookie, a piece of poultry, cereal out of the box, a perfectly round waxen tomato -- and you'll realize that you have virtually no idea what it actually is.Full Review

I figured it wasn't important for me to go into detail about the photography and the editing. I just wanted to scare the bejesus out of you, which is what Food, Inc. did to me.Full Review

Eating can be one dangerous business. Don't take another bite till you see Robert Kenner's Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary that is scarier than anything in the last five Saw horror shows.Full Review
