Went to their site and saw all I needed to see. They are an organization of enviromentalist and socialist/communist with a bunch of celebrities acting as spokes people/experts.
Obama hired a big time Monsanto lobbyist as an agricultural czar if I recall. What a great idea! Monsanto patents seeds and even forces farmers who never bought Monsanto seeds into their patent agreement, simply because bees cross-polinated from a neighboring farm who might've purchased Monsanto seeds.
Food Inc. is actually an ANTI-government stance on the food industry. Since lobbyists at the biggest firms buy politicians (see above), it stands to reason that bucking that trends sends a message to Washington that our food choices will not be decided upon whom THEY favor.

Actually, many of my ultra conservative libertarian friends loved this movie and wholeheartedly agree with the message. You are looking at it from a purely corporatist/socialist viewpoint. It bashed both Clinton and Bush for their poor policy choices and merely advocate purchase of food from local farms that do not inject hormones (aka man boob enhancers) into cows producing milk, etc.

Funny, I watched the movie and didn't see that anywhere.
You probably ought to watch it before deciding you know what's in and forming an opinion based on what you think you know.
The film has nothing to do with federal intervention in food control actually there's no food controls because the FDA and similar federal bureaus are topped by ex-agribusiness board members.
You should watch the film before you voice concerns that I am advocating government intervention.
Why? There's plenty of stray dogs and cats around. Get enough of them and you can give your wife a nice fur coat for Christmas. You'd be doing something enviromentally friendly. You'd be recycling.

You're absolutely right.
People should rent this dvd and make their own judgment before blathering about what they don't know.

Folks like sailordave like to associate anything anti-corporatist as necessarily socialist. Another reason why us libertarians roll our eyes whenever we attend RNC meetings and see RINOs identify themselves as "conservative".
