Kenner’s doc does a wonderful job of opening consumers’ eyes to what they’re eating. For viewers, hopefully, the film’s effective post-screening loss of appetite develops into a life of better dietary choices.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 19, 2018

Want a nice juicy burger? Maybe not, maybe never if you catch Food, Inc., a calm but powerful indictment of the food industry.

As a film, it functions almost to snow you under with bits of little-examined, often unconnected ideas. The narrative is segmented into extremely short intervals, all helpfully introduced by inter-titles with cute plays on words.

The film overstuffs the viewer with rich food for thought but leaves you with the unsatisfied feeling that it missed the mark. And the liberal sprinkling of scare tactics gives a sour taste.

This is the kind of muckraking we should see more often.

This solidly constructed documentary aims to do for food production what An Inconvenient Truth did for global warming.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2011

One word of caution: Eat before you see it. After it's over, the idea of a swing through the drive-thru might not be so appetizing.

A doco which could make you sick!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 31, 2010

Food, Inc. -- a disturbing expose of the food industry -- is essential watching. You need to see it. Take your kids. Take your neighbour's kids. Take a stranger's kids (well, maybe that's a bit much).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2010

A disturbing yet easy to watch documentary about the increasingly industrialized yanking on what used to be called the food chain.

Concerned with entertainment value as well as clarity and punch, he uses lots of colourful graphics, and moves quickly from one aspect of his subject to another.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 21, 2010

This enlightening film takes aim at the US food industry by exposing the astounding and dubious means by which the source of our food is harvested and processed.

An activist-made film of considerable interest, Food, Inc is also a piece of investigative journalism that tells us a thousand things that are pertinent to eating everyday food. Did you know that chickens are farmed to fatten in 45 days and grow bigger

A heartfelt condemnation of mass-produced, chemically treated food, though it covers so many areas of concern in 94 minutes that it is necessarily superficial.
