documentary by Robert Kenner, USA 2008, 88 minutes
"The food industry in the U.S. would not think we know what we eat. Because if you knew, you would perhaps not want to eat "This assessment is Eric Schlosser, U.S. - journalist and author at the beginning of the film." Food Inc. - What we really eat?
Today's food, so the film shows, are now largely out of the assembly line production. Workers and animals are abused, food and more dangerous - and that we were deliberately concealed. A few multinational corporations dominate the food system. You control it from seed to supermarket. There are monopolists who sell far more meat from happy cows and chickens, even though their advertising that suggests still.
The food industry, it exposes the film, set for the increase of profit already on hormone-treated beef cattle, genetically modified crops and foods developed technologically. Thus it is the livelihood of many farmers and the health of consumers at risk.
The list of scandals that have come to light is always longer. But the journalist Michael Pollan sees a positive side: "With each revelation America learns a bit more on the preparation of food. And every time one turns off in disgust and look for alternatives. "
And shall ask the movie to the audience to take a stand to defend themselves against the domination by the food industry and to take responsibility for their own food.
The film sheds light on the situation in the U.S.. And to us Europeans, as so often in the industrialization of technology in food and to run well ahead. Remains the question of whether this future to us, as so often catches up, soon.
