Food, Inc. Opens in Atlanta
Author Eric Schlosser (left), who wrote Fast Food Nation is one of the experts interviewed in filmmaker Robert Kenner’s new documentary, “Food, Inc.,” a hard, raw look at our food industry and the regulatory agencies that govern it such as the USDA and the FDA.
Michael Pollan, the author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, is also interviewed, as well as social entrepreneur-cum-dairyman Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms.
Kenner is noted for his war documentaries “Two Days in October” and “War Letters,” but this appears to be his first foray into food. The film takes a hard look at “what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here,” and has been heralded by Variety, Entertainment eekly and foodie maven Alice Waters.
Food, Inc. opens in Atlanta exclusively at Landmark Midtown on June 19th.

Looks great, but I live in Birmingham – wonder if it will ever get here?

I can’t wait to see this. We need to be a thin and healthy nation. This might help us get started.

It’s very interesting to me that there is a movie about what type foods we intake into our own bodies. Food,Inc. is an eye opene 4 me.Hopefully, I will get the chance 2 see this one.

What is the point of posting on a topic just to write “who cares?”I read a Vegan book recently and though I do not plan on giving up animal based food products anytime soon,it did reveal information about the FDA and USDA and how lobbyists have their hands in the government’s pockets to determine what is best for our bodies. I have cut back on my beef and pork intake since then and I already feel lighter.

Tyler P: A lot of people care. Maybe you should check the film out — who knows? Maybe it will change your attitude.

Can’t wait to see this one. Schlosser changed the way I look at all food after reading his book. It’s time for us to take a step back and really look at what we are putting in our bodies. Cancer rates aren’t this way for no reason, nor is obesity at the levels it’s at just because people “can’t put down their fork.”
