Food Inc. the documentary
Has anyone seen it? Oprah is discussing it today and On Demand as the option to purchase it.
I'm really intrigued. And sorry if this is not the right board for this!
Re: Food Inc. the documentary
this is definitely the right board for this.
I saw it On Demand after reading Michael Pollen's book (The Omnivores Dilemma) so it was not a lot of new information for me. I thought it was very well done and I definitely do recommed it.
I've seen it too and second the recommendation to NOT watch it while eating.
I generally don't go for documentaries like Food Inc, but I'll admit, I was captivated. Made me think a lot about what I am eating.
It's a great documentary. I agree with not eating while watching.
On a side note, its what pushed me to become a pescetarian and give up meat.
I literally just finished watching it 30 minutes ago!
I thought it was really good. I was nervous that there would be too much of a gross factor, but I didn't think there was. Some of the information is definitely disturbing, but I actually thought that it was uplifting and motivating. Rather than just saying "look how awful this is" they gave better options and made you feel like you do have a choice and that you can make a difference. Granted, none of the things that they presented (locally grown food, eating less processed foods, organics) were groundbreaking or surprising, but it still makes you think.
Its available for instant viewing if you have Netflix!
I love Food, Inc. and think everyone should see it! DH and I saw it at an indie theater near our place on opening night (I was REALLY excited about it
). It does a great job of balancing reality with what an average audience can handle.
I recommend reading Michael Pollen's books in addition to Fast Food Nation if you haven't already. They definitely changed the way I looked at food.

Yeah this is the right board
I loved Food Inc. Very well done. I was also worried they would go too far into the horrific practices of meat production (even though it's true), because that would turn a lot of people away. They didn't do that, it's very well done and educates you while being entertaining at the same time. DH and I had given up meat a few months prior to seeing it and that sealed the deal for us.
I also loved Michael Pollan's books. His new book Food Rules is just awesome. "Eat food. Mostly Plants. Not Too Much."
