Mmmmm... bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, tomatoes that fight the right to rot... yep, bring it on. Oh hang on... 'Food Inc' is a timely observation of the (American) mechanisation and corporate monopoly of grub in all its forms; a likely template for the rest of the world and a very worrying prospect.
Featuring interviews with Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food..), this is a very relevant documentary even if find out more...
