Food, Inc. is a new documentary by director/producer, Robert Kenner. The film discusses where our food really comes from and how it is really produced and how to use it as a fuel for our bodies instead of something that is making us sick. Although this description might make it seem like it is chocked full of footage of dying animals to force us to swear off meat and leather, it isn’t that at all. It is an informative piece to make the viewer a little more aware of the practices involved in raising corn, soybeans, chickens and other types of food. It is strangely uplifting and incredibly emotional all at the same time.

This film is a great if you are hoping to learn a few new things food, as well as how our country and society works.

I recently sat down with Food, Inc. director, Robert Kenner, to talk about his new film. After seeing the film, my view of food had completely changed. This film discusses the issue of food in an intelligent manner; it does not use the shock tactics like PETA, and it is not as outlandish and Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me. Obviously, I had many questions for him. Far more than I could fit into a short conversation, but I tried my best.

It became quite clear to me why the film was so interesting, the director had a clear vision of what he was trying to convey. He was not a crazy hippie that was trying to get everyone to give up meat and go vegan, he was the complete opposite. He is simply trying to peek inside the underbelly of our nations food industry, and educate us, the consumers.

You may want to read this article and watch this clip before you eat today. It’s the opening three minutes of the upcoming documentary Food Inc. Now before I lose you! What I can tell you is that, this is not just another health-food junkie movie telling you that all food is bad. It’s different from other movies in it’s genre because it focuses on the food and meat industry, but not from the usual PETA shock video standpoint. It actually made a valid argument to not eat meat, and if you do eat meat, why not to get it from the supermarket.
The film talks about a variety of issues with the supermarket industry, not just one particular problem. It proved why people need to be aware of what they are actually consuming, and to ultimately reevaluate it.
Although the film was it’s horrifying, moments, it’s actually very well presented and relies on facts not opinions.

Check out the first three and half minutes of the film below just to give you a little taste for what’s to come…
