Food, Inc.: Summer Blockbuster?

Food, Inc., a new film out this summer, may not be a blockbuster in the traditional sense, but early reviews show that it just might bust big agribusiness a bit. According to the film’s synopsis, it exposes the American food industry (and the U.S. government’s role in it) and its impact on our health, environment, economy and workers’ rights. Food, Inc. features interviews with experts Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation; Michael Pollan author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto; as well as entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms’ Joel Salatin.

Check out the trailer, reviews and more, and plan to see it. In our area, Galaxy Cinema in Cary is showing Food, Inc. Check the theater's web site for showtimes and updates.
