Food, Inc. is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner.[1] The film examines large-scale agricultural food production in the United States, concluding that the meat and vegetables produced by this type of economic enterprise leads to inexpensive but unhealthy and environmentally harmful food.
The film is narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, two long-time critics of the industrial production of food. The documentary generated extensive controversy in that it was heavily criticized by large American corporations engaged in industrial food production
The film's first segment examines the industrial production of meat (chicken, beef & pork), calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable.The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables (primarily corn and soy beans), labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable.
The film's third and final segment is about the economic and legal power of the major food companies, whose livelihoods are based on supplying cheap but contaminated food, the heavy use of petroleum-based chemicals (largely pesticides and fertilizers), and the promotion of unhealthy food consumption habits by the American public.
The film has been extremely highly rated by critics collectively, with a combined rating of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes[27], and 80/100 on Metacritic
