Food, Inc. has been critically acclaimed for its exploration of the food industry’s effects on health and the environment. Filmmaker Robert Kenner documents the practices of our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized systems that have been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.  Currently, the nation’s food supply is controlled by a handful of corporations with potential effects on consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, and the safety of workers and the environment.  Examples include the agri-engineering of larger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad. The film shows how these practices have also produced new strains of E. coli as well as widespread obesity. 

Prior to directing Food, Inc., Robert Kenner received the 2006 Peabody, the Emmy for exceptional merit in Non-Fiction Film-Making, and the Greirson (British Documentary) for his previous film Two Days in October.  The film premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and was released theatrically by IFC Films and Red Envelopment Entertainment. www.FoodIncMovie.com
