They say you are what you eat. But how much do we really know about the food we consume? A steak may look exactly like it did twenty years ago, but the way it is produced has radically changed. In “FOOD, INC.”, Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the consumer with the consent of the government. A handful of business powerhouses has chosen to put profit above animal welfare, not to mention the welfare of employers and consumers. The documentary reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat and how it is produced, what the cost to our health is, and how this wave of change is sweeping across the global food industry.
