This movie puts the truth of our food industry in your face. If you can handle the true way our food is produced, and what we are really eating, then it's a great movie. One thing I got from this movie is that it's really difficult to know what's in your food, as they mass produce it. I've been eating a much better quality of food since I watched this. I now go to a healthly grocery store, and have noticed a huge difference in the taste and quality of the food. It has even made me feel better. This movie will weigh heavily on your conscience, if you choose to continue eating the same way.

A highly informative & entertaining independent documentary that will shock & amaze you, but more importantly leave you with hope that we have the power to change what is going on in our Food industry. I highly recommend this movie to everyone! Two thumbs up! ;)
Amazing film, eye-opening information, everybody should see this, and WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING! We can't allow this to continue, it is affecting us, our children and the world!
This film, produced for an obvious reason, is so very emotional and sadly, I agree a FEW parts are true. But, if it is so thought provoking as so many others have said, than stop for a moment and think about it. Let us take the cow being pushed by a forklift. It is wrong what they are doing, completly wrong, but how did this get on the film??? I come from the agriculture industry first hand, I'm not trying to put the film down, but if anybody understands the importance of respecting the planet we are on, the livestock we produce, it is farmers. The producers of your food. So many people have a major disconnect of where their food comes from; and they see a film like Food Inc. and Of course it will pull on your heartstrings! It pulled on my own! But this I can tell you honestly that such wrong treatment happens on very, very few farms. It wouldn't make sense! Would it make sense for a car manufactoror to abuse the equipment they use every day, the equipment that makes them money? Of course NOT!!! Farmers are honestly the same way, you could argue that machines are not animals, they dont have feeling etc. But you are creating another argument; I said to ask yourself if it would make sense for them to abusive the factor that essentially makes their living for them. So, back to the cow being pushed by the forklift, I cannot say for certain, but I do believe I have seen this clip before, it is a cow with BSE, so it can no longer walk. Now you know why it was being pushed the way it was, but I agree, it could have been done in a much better way. Another argument commonly brought up: the livestock are ankle deep in their own feces. I'm sorry, this is 100% wrong. No questions, its a LIE!! Every year at leat once all the manure (feces and the bedding material which is usually straw; the straw gives the livestock warmth and keeps them clean), is hauled out of the pen where the livestock are kept. Now, obviously, it did happen becasue it was captured on film; It probably happened after a rain storm or spring melt, and before the feedlot workers had enough time to bring straw into them pen. It does not make sense to let livestock live in those types of conditions; first of all, they actually lose weight, second, it increases the cost to the farmer-the livestock require more feed, and need to stay at the feedlot for a longer time to get to shipping weight. So, this footage is very rare, and any farmer operating like that is not in business for very long!! Another argument? How about the pigs screaming and being pushed in the slaughter plant. The producers of this film have never gone to a pig barn. Ever. That was made very clear becasue of their ignorance of pigs and the way they act. Pigs are always noisy when anything happens, whether that be a human coming into the barn, or a bird flies into the barn. Pigs also go the opposite way you want them to! Its hard to move a pig to where you want it to go, not becasue it is scared, but becasue it is stubborn, even moving a pig to another place in an open barn is hard, they are stubborn. It may look terrible and shocking but you need to look at the other side of the story. As a primary producer, I felt I needed to write what I did, the real truth needs to be brought out, so often we are powerless against multi billion dollar film companies, who have a goal in mind when they produce a film like this. Please keep an open mind and THINK FOR YOURSELF!! Get the real facts! ~A ProducerRead full review
