The food industry is headed back to the big screen this weekend as Food, Inc. opens in NYC and LA this Friday, June 12. Filmmaker Robert Kenner takes a closer look at our nation's food industry exposes "the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer." The movie, which took 6 years to make, highlights the big business of corporate food production and how it impacts consumer health, the average American farmer and our environment. I've been meaning to see a screening of the film for a few months now, but continuous conflicts prevented me from doing so. I'll be catching the flick this weekend and will report back with a full review. My instinct tells me it's going to be a must-see film and has the backing (and on-screen interviews) of a number major players in the food industry, Alice Waters, Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser (author of Fast Food Nation and co-producer of the film), and Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms among them. Get your organic/all natural-popcorn ready to go...
