FOOD, Inc. is playing in San Francisco

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

Wanted to let you know FOOD, Inc. is playing at the Embarcadero..

Little bit about the movie..

 

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

 

Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

We went to see the movie on Saturday night. Eric Schlosser spoke to the audience afterwards. I thought the movie was well done and informative, especially for those who are not familiar with how animals are slaughtered, what they are fed or how our food is produced. I was disappointed that they did not promote a more vegetarian/vegan diet, however. They spent quite a bit of time interviewing a small farmer who raised his animals and slaughtered them himself.

 

All in all, it is worth seeing, again particularly for those who have no idea the trouble our food system is in.
