Food, Inc.
Food Inc. is a documentary directed and produced by Robert Kenner targeted to illuminate on declining consumer health with the bull’s-eye on a handful of multinational corporations. The process is simple: the more they feed us, the more we eat. These corporations, in an effort to produce an abundance of cheap food, neglect horrifying repercussions that this cheaply produced food has on the health and living conditions of the animals from which the food comes from, those who work in the factories where the food is processed, and those who are consuming the food itself. With input from Eric Schlosser, the author of “Fast Food Nation” and Robert Kenner, viewers are witnessing the despicable and ugly downside of cheap and easy food production as we are taken on site to farms, supermarkets, and fast-food chains. The documentary exposes the reality of the current food production dilemma as it hits home with a mother-daughter duo sharing their story of the loss of a son (and a grandson) from a rare e-coli contamination. In addition, the up and coming business of the organic food industry is skeptically introduced. Ultimately, the documentary raises the eyebrows of consumers by proposing a logical notion: Is cheap, fast, and easy food worth the health risks that the food industry so graciously conceals?
