This documentary is a well rounded, in-depth introduction to the horrors behind why a hamburger costs less than a bag of carrots. If you want to learn more about the patenting of food and Monsanto, then watch The Future of Food. Corn is taking over the fields? Watch King Corn. Is fast food bad for me? Watch Supersize Me. This doc touches on all those bases and then some. Few people would let cameras in to see the conditions the animals are kept in, but one woman showed her chicken (?) coop. We also see "tame" footage of slaughterhouses (compared to the stuff you might see on a PETA website). We hear about the dangers of E. Coli in the food supply - it's not a matter of "if" but "when". You can probably google E. Coli outbreaks and there's something in the news about it somewhere. We see a bit on illegal immigration. This is not a souped up liberal documentary, I promise. I'm pretty conservative and cant recall seeing any liberal bias. It's not a party causing this offensive treatment of our food supply, the whole system is messed up. High five to that organic farmer, Joel something. Well shot documentary. The graphics and pie charts were Grade A. If you're not familiar with where your McD's comes from, I would think this film is a must watch.
