Food, Inc. - 8 stars out of 10

"Food, Inc." should not be watched while consuming meat.  The gruesomely detailed exploration of the food industry exposes the man (and machinery) hiding behind the curtain.  Everything that the food industry never wanted you to see is contained in this film that brings transparency to the unfair treatment of workers and animals.  The film fails to address the challenges of feeding a constantly growing global community, but it won't matter in the end because the treatment of the animals that we eat is enough to make you sick (figuratively and literally).  The film targets food companies that hold a monopoly on the market, forcing farmers to conform to their ways or find themselves with crops that they are unable to sell.  "Food, Inc." may shed some light on the products that we consume but more than anything, it is a strong reminder that ignorance is bliss.
