Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for Food, Inc. (click image below to enlarge), filmmaker Robert Kenner's unflattering look inside our nation's food industry. With more and more food being ripped from the shelves due to the apparent threat of disease (with pistachio nuts being the latest banned food), Food, Inc. takes the viewer inside the mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer, while featuring interviews with Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), as well as Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin and Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg.
As the film's synopsis states: "Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults" For more information on Food, Inc., which hits theaters on June 12, check out the film's official website and click the image below to view the full poster.

This sounds very interesting. Not too long ago, there was a lawsuit against the diary industry because they are using BGH (bovine growth hormone). BGH ends up in the milk we drink and is a proven contributor to cancer.
Guess what happened? The industry counter-sued for something like trade secrets and won a settlement.
I think it was peanut butter that was causing a problem recently. The company claimed that by some loophole, they weren't required to disclose the problem. Great, so let people get sick and potentially die because of a loophole.
It's disgusting what is happening to our food supply in this country.
