I just listened to this podcast, and was chilled to my bones to learn some of the information this interviewee revealed about his findings in making his movie, "Food, Inc." I will be looking for that movie, but in the meantime would be interested in learning the reactions from you.
I've been investigating for awhile now. Fast Food Nation was horrifying.
Here is a trailer to Food, Inc., and a print interview with Robert Kenner.
Trailer "People have got to start demanding good wholesome food--and we will deliver, I promise."
Print Interview This is a system that ultimately took over the supermarket as well. When we shop, we’re buying the same industrialized meats from the same sources that restaurants and processed food purveyors use.
I saw Food Inc. this weekend. Unfortunately it was nothing new to me, as I have been following this topic for quite awhile - still a powerful movie that anyone who eats meat should watch.

I worry that the movie will only be preaching to the choir.
I dunno, maybe that would be enough to get a real movement going.

Seeing the movie wasn't exactly easy. None of the megaplex cinemas near me have it; but I found an indy theater. It was pretty crowded, but it was opening weekend too, so hard to tell.
i want to cry...not even for myself, but for my son who is 3. who knows what affects all the milk he drinks is having and will have on his future health. he is already taller than most kids his age. i keep him away from fast food, but from what i just saw, it doesnt really matter much since the fast food companies control even what we buy in the supermarkets. i guess it's time to use the organic farms we have nearby---even though we wont get the same amount for our money.

It is a slick piece of propaganda much along the lines of Leni Riefenstahl.
In the "old days" before CBS became politicized, CBS Reports documentaries like "Harvest of Shame" were the golden standard of how to do a news documentary.

I am not familiar with either Leni Riefenstahl, nor "Harvest of Shame."
On the slim chance that there might be others also unfamiliar, please do elaborate. To merely dismiss something without explaining further would be unfair to those of us with a true concern.

Thank you.
There is always Wikipedia.
When an activist produces a film, there is generally not an opportunity for BOTH sides to be presented. NO one, including myself, would appear on camera when they believe that their response may be edited in a manner that their position will be misrepresented. In the film, the large agribusinesses would not participate - and I don't blame them.
While I agree that film can be edited, interviews can come out slanted, etc etc there is no getting around the fact that HFCS and a whole bunch of other crap permeate our diet. Corn rules, as does soybean.
And it is difficult for me to believe that Monsanto has my best interests at heart.
Of course we are never going back to the pre-industrial agrarian days, but we all could eat a lot more nutritiously, if the agribusinesses would only let us.
"there’s something horribly wrong with a system in which a bag of chips cost less than a bag of carrots."
