USA/94 mins/2009/PG. Dir: Robert Kenner. With Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser.

This eye-opening documentary, featuring Fast Food Nation’s Eric Schlosser, will convince you to never look at the food on your plate in the same way again. Our UK Chefs have recently been warning us of the pitfalls of modern meat farming but Food, Inc goes much further. It looks at how the international food industry puts profit before the safety of workers, the livelihood of the farmers, the environment and consumer health. Exploring the bigger-breasted chicken, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean and tomatoes that won’t go bad, this is one of the US’ highest grossing independent films of the year.
