Meet Food, Inc. director Robert Kenner at Whole Foods this Friday
 |
Robert Kenner, director of Food, Inc., will visit Whole Foods' location at 929 South Street this Friday, June 5, at 3 p.m. His doc takes a hard look at the American food industry. There'll be demos and discussion.
CP's Holly Otterbein recommended the flick as part of our 2009 CineFest coverage:
How can Eric Schlosser still eat hamburgers? The author of Fast Food Nation and narrator of Food, Inc. orders a patty at a greasy spoon in the beginning of the film, suggesting that the industrial food complex is so wholly disturbed that there's no point in fighting it. True, but the film argues that you still should. Food, Inc. is muckraking journalism at its finest � animal lover or not, you will leave it weary of the affair between government and industry, disgusted with the alpha crop corn, baffled by the laws that protect corporations more than they do people and revolted at the idea of eating anything that's not cage-free. Do dinner before you arrive.
If you take the time to learn about the movie and read the book, take the time to also hear the other side of the story. www.SafeFoodInc.com. There is another side and if you care about food and feeding the word, you click through it.
