I heard the interview this morning with Bob Edwards. I now have a fresh new copy of In Defense of Food in my hands. I’m looking forward to digging into it and searching out the documentary.

Hello. I am so excited about the movie Food, Inc. It’s about time the ugliness of our food system and big business were exposed to the public. Please, do what you can to widely distribute the move across the country. I live in Seattle and am unable to see the movie. I’ll go for the book with the hopes of seeing the movie soon. Thanks for your great work.

I am so happy to see a movie like this. Hopefully the mass public will see it. All of this food is making people sick. We are a nation living off junk processed foods and medication. I make EVERYTHING in our home from scratch, so this is something I am VERY passionate about. How can you NOT give the BEST to yourself and to your family?

I agree with the “horror” movie aspect of it. I just got back from the theater and it was certainly a chilling movie. While I’m very familiar with most of these topics, I’m not sure the general public will be excited to run out and see what feels like such a grim movie. Are we only preaching to the choir then? This project is important, but we need to make sure it branches out of the already healthy, green, circles. My original thought to really spread it, would be to feature it on college campuses. It’s easier for students about to enter society to change the system than the older citizens who are (naturally) confined by their well developed paradigms.

ALl of my ramblings aside, this is great work and a great message. My heartfelt thanks to all those involved and all those voting with their shopping carts!

I would like to see this film, but live in St. Louis, MO. Why are the showings so limited?

Saw it yesterday, I am speechless, humbled and angry. View it, feel it and help make the change that is necessary. Be part of a ground swell, make a difference! Our food and it’s production has to stop. We can regrow what we know! Again

I, too, already knew most of the information in the movie. i have been eating organically grown food for over 20 years; have grown my own food too. There is simply no other way to disengage from the machine that is consuming us. People can be in both worlds, you do not have to ‘drop out’ become a hippie or ‘other than normal’ as none of this is any longer the issue. The movie speaks the truth that has been building since WWll and all that has transpired. It is so difficult for the masses because it is ubiquitous now, and if something IS BLATANTLY SCREAMING IN YOUR FACE, maybe it just really, trully, cannot be true. But it is folks. Take responsibility for your health, it is that easy. Listen to the wisdom of native peoples, to your grandparents that new how to eat wholesome food, to the ‘hippies’ that knew how to grow their food, to the next door neighbor that wants to share a home cooked meal. Buy, VOTE, feed yourselves with a consciousness that is AWAKE to the truths that we are here NOW and need to get a grip. We are so close to losing it all, but we all must do our part to listen, trust ourselves to feed and nourish ourselves with organic, local, sustainable raised foods, grown with LOVE by people that we know, (these farmers are at every farmers market in our towns!) and ask questions and DEMAND to know how they operate and who harvests your food. If you do not like it, do not BUY and EAT it! Simple, direct. Go to the library and check out books. Read. Turn off the tv. Educate yourselves. It is free. VOTE WITH YOUR FORK! We can all make a difference in our own bodies, and once you are feeling better, more grounded, SHARE IT WITH OTHERS! LOVE.

Hi I am from Singapore. This film makes a lot of sense about the FOOD we eat. Even though I stay in Singapore but I find it very applicable in all over the nation. There are so much truth in Food documentaries (eg, Food Matters, Food Fight, All jacked up, King Corn) The sad things is that not a lot of people really care.. whenever I share this kind of information to my friends, they find me nuts…. haha God Bless

My worry is the effect of eating meat that has growth hormones and antibiotics in it plus meat and crops made to grow faster. Noticing how people are taller and there is more obesity than in my grandparents day. Are we like those chickens.

I really hope this movie inspires people to really think about where the food they put into their bodies really comes from. Hopefully now people won’t think I’m crazy for owning my own cow (which is a tremendous amount of work and money) when you can by milk at the store for a 1/3 of the price. Yeah I butcher my own meat, it’s a lot more work but atleast i know how the food was grown and i feel good about putting it in my body.
Anyway, I just hope more people realize that just because it is cheaper at the store it is not cheaper for you in terms of medical costs, environmental cost, animal welfare, and just connection to your food.

Can anyone tell me what is happening to Moe Parr and other disenfranchised farmers. Can we help them? When I search for Moe Parr on google, the first result is Monsanto’s website disparaging Mr. Parr.

America needs this movie! I’m grateful for Michael Pollan’s books and now movies like Food, Inc. I work with clients who all benefit from this great work. thank you!

Can anyone tell me if this film will play in Ohio or even Pittsburgh, PA? I am a vegan, wildlifer, and conservationist who just moved here from NJ/NYC - am salivating over seeing this

This movie trailer looks amazing. How can the rest of us watch this movie if we live in cities outside the viewing areas? Is it available to view online anywhere?

Would love to know if this movie will make its way in Canada, we did not see any show times for Toronto, Ontario Canada or anywhere else. We have long believed that the Food Industry has become a place to use left over chemicals, are making us sick, force people to rely on the pharmaceutical industry which also uses a lot of the same chemicals. We then use the medical profession, our doctors and hospitals to further push these drugs on an uninformed population and to finish the whole package have our governments legislate the whole package. Please advise if this will be made available soon in Canada.
Thank you
Nancy Allen Deane

I live in a city where I believe its not playing (though MovieTickets.com says it is, the individual theatre listings, do not). How soon do you predict it will be available on DVD? I’m really interested in seeing this movie.
Thanks!

Does anyone know if there are any Canadian dates for the movie?

All this movie attempts to do is to create fear about food manufacturers based on emotion and false perception. I spent 20+ years in the food industry in positions from hourly worker thru to senior managements positions. However, I am employed in another industry with no ties to the food industry. So, I can offer an unadulterated (no pun intended) view of the food industryy. The food industry makes every effort to produde food items which are inexpensive and safe for consumption. It is the consumer’s freee choice to determine if a food may be “healthy” for them to eat. It is best to weigh the information in this movie against cold hard facts. Take the case of McDonalds, although they now have a healthier menu with the addition of fruits, salads, etc., their sales remain strong in the face of ample and common knowledge of nutritional information that says most of their menu is high in calories and sodium. So, be careful how you discriminately say the the food industry as a whole is corrupt. The individual companies within the food industry would never survive without the consumer “voting” for their products by way of consuming them on a day-to-day basis. The industry simply delivers the products which the consumer demands.

I just watched the trailer. Excellent.
I am going to share this with everyone.I am a mom on a mission with this same agenda. to stop junk food addiction and get our children to eat better. So glad to see this.

This film has got to be one of the most important that has been made in many years. I haven’t yet had the chance to see it, but I know those who have (food activists) and I know it’s got critical messages that must be heard by the average citizen. Please support local agriculture, and especially sustainable, organic food growers. Help keep our food supply from continuing on this terrible trend of being toxic and contaminated. It’s why our health problems are at the condition they’re in. Visit Agriculture Society, activist site for resources and information on sustainable living and nutrition through whole, traditional, organic foods. http://www.agriculturesociety.com

I would like to commit to eating healthier like allot of people, but as long as high quality or organic food is not affordable for most people, especially in this economy, poor people will continue to eat processed food that is low in price to feed their families. Think about what that woman said in the trailer about a hamburger being less expensive that vegetables. I sometimes wonder if there is a conspiracy behind this; keep the poor people unhealthy and allow the rich to eat better. Meanwhile it’s the poor people who are driving up the cost of heath care because most are unisured but could possible be healthier if they could afford better food.

Hi. Does the film will be presented in Mexico?
I hope so.

I saw this film on Sunday June 15 and have told everyone I come in contact with it is the single most important film you will ever see. It will change the way you view every morsel that goes into your mouth. The way we eat is truly the root of the problem we are facing with Health Care system today. People need to connect the dots and start being accountable for their own health. They way we eat and the sources of food which includes QUALITY is instrumental and essential toward accomplishing this goal of better health in this country. Period.

Will this be coming to Canada? And will this be made into DVD’s that we can purchase off the internet?

A glaring weakness of Food Inc is that it’s not explicit enough with the truth: which is that a severe reduction in meat consumption is necessary to turn the tables on the environmental problems we face with modern agriculture. That’s an absolute must given the huge and growing world population.

Vivian: obviously a must see

Hope the movie comes to Canada. Would like to start a local action group in Winnipeg. Maybe a day could be set for North America were we all march on the streets protesting the state of food and food labeling while we are at it!

I am exgtremely pleased that a movie such as this has come out. I have been talking with family and friends about this type of thing for a long time. It also deeply concerns me about the genetic modifications of foods as well as the pesticides, fillers, etc that are found everywhere. You are what you eat…and we have been consuming so much toxins that it is literally killing the public and feeding the healthcare systems money machine. You go to a doctor for an illness, and he feeds you another toxin proscribed to you that does nothing to cure your ills. Now I bring you diabetes. This is the biggest dupe on the the american public that I have ever seen. It all comes back to what you eat, and how you eat. The big money machine has to be continously fed somehow. It is amazing to me the things that our government regulates, makes legal - such as poisoning the pulic - versus the natural things that are illegal, or may become. I worry that at some point it will be illegal to grow your own natrual organic garden for fear of cross polination pollution to a corporate genetically altered farm. Even things such as toothpaste…read the label on most of them…if your child comsumes more than what is on the brush, it tells you to call the poison control center. You have to be careful out there…what you don’t know WILL HURT YOU!. Thank you for this movie. I sincerely hope that you continue to expose everything…not just the food supply.
