Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Food, Inc.—an informative documentary about America’s food industry—causes deeper thinking about alternative food choices. Director Robert Kenner does a terrific job of organizing interviews, interviewers, film footage of congressional hearings, and related archival footage into a well-presented case against our current methods of food production.
