For some reason I read somewhere and realized that I overlooked a movie that had good reviews. It's a documentary about the dirty secrets of the food industry and everything....I'm thinking about checking it out and learn about that. It's only $9.99 at Amazon.com. Did anyone here see that film before and what was your take on that?
 
I know that Oprah had a show about it this past week. From what I saw, it looked to be pretty interesting.
 
have seen parts of it, wasn't surprised. Thought it was good-

Sounds positive from what you peeps have seen. Of course, we are aware of many things that food industry have done to the communtity which isn't a surprise.

I've watched this like 5 times

my favorite movie of 2009
 
I have a dirty secret from very own kitchen. I touch my cabinets after handling meat and handle meat afterward.
 
It is excellent. If you've read a lot of Michael Pollan's work (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, The Botany of Desire) then nothing in it will be new for you. Basically he is synthesizing all the information from those books into a catchy documentary.

I really enjoyed it because it makes an argument against factory farming based on economics, not on the usual hippie/vegetarian/earth mother philosophical approach. This is a new form of argumentation for changing our food industry.

I'll be showing it to my freshman composition students when I teach that class again in the fall.
