In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nations food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly thats been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our governments regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nations food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how its produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

2. The Food Industry is scared to death of this film

For many years, almost complete control of message has been maintained regarding the conversion of our food supply into nothing more that a synthetic Industrial process. Individual farmers are overwhelmed by the marketing might, the omnipresent Big Box stores that sell the industrialized food products, and a perpetually maintained curtain of ignorance with the help of government regulation and collusion.

Even GMO crops are given reduced rates for crop insurance, for some unknown reason.

Now, we are seeing the well hidden negative information leaking out, and what does the GMO industry do? They are passing laws to pre-emptively prohibit regulation! Thats right, check out Hawaii's legislative answer to the successful prohibition of GMO Taro and Coffe on the Big Island. http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2009/Bills/HB1226_HD1_.HTM

One has to wonder, after all, GMO's have been touted as providing food for a starving world, will increase productivity, and all the other nonsense that has not materialized, yet they have to premptively prohibit regulation that would actually help their cause, unless they know something we don't, and increased scrutiny would reveal their fraudulent claims.

What ever happened to "Let the Marketplace Decide?" Well, it died a long time ago. We eat unlabeled GMO food in almost every processed food, thus circumventing our choice to Not eat GMO's, simply because they are hidden in the foods we consume. The resistance of the food industry to labeling origin and GMO ingrediants should be a large warning sign that something is definately rotten in the supermarket. If the GMO food companies have to rely on secrecy and big money lobbys to keep their products alive, then something is wrong. They know their product is crap, but damnit they spend all that money on media blackouts, blackballing the early warnings, and legislating our rights away from determining what the hell we are eating.

I challenge anyone to provide a link that shows film of the inside of the Corn Refinery than produces High Fructose Corn Syrup. I've been looking for 3 years, and you would think that it's as important as Three Mile Island or something. What's up with that? Oh wait, we actually can see film of the inside of Three Mile Island...

3. I don't know much about the food industry.

I've heard of their legendary power over Washington though. I'm looking forward to this film, and I want to learn more.
