The message this movie was sharing was strongly supported. They showed adequate facts about how our food is made and the process that undergoes the making of our food. This video also shows the problems in our society. It shows how when there's a problem, most turn away and just wish they didn't hear it. They show graphic images about cattle that can't stand and chickens that grow full size in half the time. They show a support group as well called www.takepart.com/foodinc

A must see for everyone. Inspired me to take action, become vegan and move my life toward a more sustainable future for everyone. Michael Pollan is one of my favorite authors and this insightful and brave documentary exposes all the factors that add up to what is wrong in our culture and with our political and economic systems as well as motivates each one of us into actions that will make the future a better place.

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.
