At last, ‘Food Inc.’

A new film spotlights a big problem

By
June 12, 2009

"Food Inc.," a film that explores the underbelly of industrial food, opens today in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Featuring Michael Pollan and co-produced by Eric Schlosser, the film promises to shake up the way Americans think about food (or continue the shake-up, as the case may be). According to Paula Crossfield, over at Civil Eats, some big food corporations are increasingly nervous about the film’s message, and have begun their own counter-campaigns. Most viewers, though, are riveted. See the film, and then leave us a comment telling us what you think.
