Review of Food, Inc.

Food, Inc. (2008)
4/10
Nothing new
24 March 2010
I was expecting more from this movie, I really learnt nothing from this that I didn't already know. I was expecting to at least see the inside of a battery hen farm or see live footage of sick cows being slaughtered but all they could get was one farmer showing us the outside of a pen and saying he couldn't show us inside and library footage of other poor cattle conditions. There were also repeated shots of a plane's view of a massive cattle ranch.

There were no interviews or even attempts to interview (a la michael moore) any major reps of meat packing companies and this seemed like one big plug for the organic food industry which was summed up in the closing credits.

All-in-all, a disappointment as the movie didn't really deliver its premise, this was lazy investigative journalism
