Authors Michael Pollan & Eric Schlosser star in a vital doc that lifts the veil on how our food is made, exposing surprising secrets that the food industry tries to hide from the American consumer. You'll never look at dinner the same way. MPAA Rating: PG

Presents images and stories meant to create impact but fails to provide the viewer with a comprehensive view of our food system. The film maker's theories make sense given his limited scope; but, fall short of sensible in our large complex global food industry. I agree agriculture and food production reform is needed in many sectors, through out the supply chain, but i do not agree with the film maker's approach to the matter.

Much of the pro- organic editorial is very anecdotal (note that we only see 5 individual farmers / advocates on a routine basis; I exclude 2 being sued), with very little corporate data analysis and discussion. Further the contrast grainy video for those that are considered " bad" companies vs the clean video for Stonyfield is an advertising / emotional " trick". Nonetheless, the subsidies for producing corn below cost is well documented / verifiable, and a point of true concern, as this has clear irrational economic justification from a position of a free market economy. Take this out and pet different farming methods compete on economy of production, and you get the result that consumers will want.

Very biased movie. Made me want a burger even more afterward. Want to know about the food industry? Read The Jungle. That book will really get you thinking.
