I found it fairly hard to sit through this entire movie. Yes, food contamination, unhealthiness, and conglomeration is depressing. But, has it already been covered? Yes.
Most of the content in the movie has already been reported by Schlosser. If you have read Fast Food Nation, there is not much need to watch this movie. Talk on fast food restaurants? Check. The link between obesity and unhealthy food? Check. Slaughterhouses and migrant workers? Check.
A lot of the movie topics have been covered by other documentaries, such as King Corn and Super Size Me. The parts that haven’t appeared in other documentaries, such as the death of a young child who ate at Jack in the Box, make up a small minority of the film. There are countless scenes of farmers complaining about the meat packaging and farming system on their farms, which, while interesting, are drawn out to the point that they turn repetitive.
Overall, if you have read Fast Food Nation and loosely keep up with current events, there is not much need for you to watch this film that tells you so much of what you already know. Don’t be fooled by the flashy trailer (a.k.a. the movie’s opening sequence) into watching this rather unimpressive film.

Yes, Big Business is making you fat! Don’t buy their products! Instead, make those of us in the guilt business rich by buying our organic free-range health-conscious low-carbon green products so we can all laugh at your gullibility on the way to the bank! Please! Pay more of your hard-earned money to assuage your feelings of sinning against Mother Gaia and give yourself a little feel-good glow at doing your part to ‘save the planet’ while we buy all our excesses off your guilt! PLEASE! AND BE SURE TO INFORM MORE STUPID SHEEPLE LIKE YOU ABOUT THE AMAZING CHURCH OF THE ENVIRONMENTALIST!
Seriously. This is nothing but another ‘Environmentalism As Religion’ freakshow on par with PETA publicity stunts designed to trick the gullible, ignorant and in some cases outright moronic into chucking out money for snake-oil salesmen and confidence scams.
Save your money. Get a dollar menu item at a fast-food restaurant. The feel-good buzz you get from that will be a lot cheaper than the tortures you’ll put your finances through on the intellectual arrogance of ‘reducing your carbon footprint’.

This video sets out to be educational on the virtues of eating organic but the real motivation is revealed shortly after the first couple of interviews. Don’t waste your money or time on the pro-union, anti-business, socialist junk. Its clear the producers of this film only want to demonize big food companies.

I am astonished anyone would think this was a good documentary . It makes the point that maize based products are in everything but why is this bad? Does anyone really not know that drinking sugar constantly is an unhealthy diet? Am I supposed to be upset that bigger, better, and faster is more profitable? That big fish eat littler fish? If Monsanto has better, healthier, higher yield seeds that they sell for a lower price – am I supposed to be surprised that they have cornered a market? If they have a monopoly there is a mechanism in place to break it. Incidents like e-coli outbreaks are awful but I’m not exactly sure why a system that only cares about profit would tolerate it for long – it isn’t profitable to either kill or make your consumers sick. Meat packing is safer than it has ever been in the history of man – I EXPECT there will be the occasional accident or outbreak. Therefore I wash my veggies and cook my meat well. I don’t think I’m more educated than the average person but there wasn’t anything in this I wasn’t already well aware of. Mass production . . . so what? The one thing that I did wonder but was never shown was that Tyson MAY keep chickens in too crowded conditions before they slaughter them for consumption. But even the film maker’s own scenes of what I presume is their ideal for free range chicken harvesting was crowded in only perhaps half as dense an area than the ones they showed which were overcrowded. I feel manipulated. They said that cattle were forced to stand knee deep in their own waste and showed one rather short clip of it but many times showed flyovers of corrals that were comfortably populated and clean. Which is it? They showed their own contradictory footage for crying out loud. I sort of feel like Michael Moore has inspired a whole generation of documentary film makers who only produce propaganda. Please take a film like this with a grain of salt – when they say “high fructose corn syrup is in EVERYTHING” with ominous music in the background ask yourself at the same time: “and this is bad because?” – if there isn’t a credible answer – don’t stare gape mouthed and suddenly become a vegetarian.

I bought this movie based on all the good reviews. What a waste of money. Unless your head has been buried in the sand over the past decades, there is absolutely nothing newsworthy or of value to the movie. I just do not understand all the high rated reviews.
