Food, Inc.
NB! Additional Screening on Friday 25th Sep at 9pm, Andorra
Giant processing plants. Animals injected with hormones and chemicals standing in their own excrement, being fed genetically engineered corn and grains to make them fatter. Chickens that never see sunlight, can barely support their own weight...It’s not a pretty picture.
But ”Food, Inc.” is an essential one. Incorporating information from Eric Schlosser’s ”Fast Food Nation” and Michael Pollan’s ”The Omnivore’s Dilemma” – as well as talking-head commentary from the two authors and other experts, farmers, food advocates, and government officials – the film is a blistering indictment of giant food conglomerates such as Tyson and Monsanto. (Representatives of the companies cited were asked to respond – all refused.)
