In the line of We feed the world, the hunger market et Fast Food Nation a new documentary will be released on the business, the market and the shenanigans of the agrifood industry ... apparently "only" American ... (but hey, "good profitable practices" are easily exported)

With Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, more

American feature film. Genre: Documentary
Runtime: 1h34 min Production Year: 2008

Synopsis: Food, Inc. dissects the cogs of an industry that alters our environment and our health every day. From huge corn fields to colorful supermarket shelves, to unsanitary slaughterhouses, a journalist is investigating how what we put on our plates is made. Behind the pastoral labels of "farm products", he discovers with great difficulty the not very bucolic picture that the agro-food lobbies try to hide: disastrous conditions of breeding and slaughter of cattle, collusion between industrialists and institutions. regulation, lack of environmental scruples, health scandals ...

Desperate breeders, independent experts, honest entrepreneurs and consumer rights advocates, each in their own way, portray an industry that sacrifices product quality and the health of its customers on the altar of performance.

I have it, it is very nice but its purpose is not to show "shock" images (like earthlings).
