About the Movie:

"The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000" - Michael Pollan

How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and
serve to our families? Though our food appears the same—a tomato still looks
like a tomato—it has been radically transformed.

In Food, Inc., producer-director Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric
Schlosser
(Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) lift
the veil on the U.S. food industry – an industry that has often put profit ahead of
consumer health, the livelihoods of American farmers, the safety of workers and
our own environment.

"One of the year’s most important films..." - S.F. Examiner

"eloquent" and "essential viewing" - L.A. Times

Running Time 94 Minutes
