Food, Inc.

Food, Inc. unveils some of the sombre practices underpinning the American food industry, exploring how corporations place profits before consumer health, worker safety and the environment. The documentary argues that industrial production methods are not only inhumane, but also unsustainable from both an economic and environmental standpoint.

Filmmaker Robert Kenner visits farms and slaughterhouses, witnessing first-hand the disturbing conditions that prevail, such as chickens being grown so quickly that they are unable to walk properly, cows being fed chemically laced feed, and workers risking their own safety to ensure products are produced cheaply for the market. He also interviews a range of industry figures, including CEOs, advocates, authors and lobbyists.

For many people, the ideal meal is convenient, low-cost and delicious. Food, Inc. examines the true cost of prioritising price and convenience over nutritional and environmental considerations, presenting its findings in a way that is engaging, informative and accessible to all.
