Scary ! submitted by suave on February 4, 2010, 6:29pm I want to become a vegan! Or move to Europe where hopefully they dont grow food / meat this way!

Worth watching submitted by marielle on July 14, 2011, 11:06pm I was prepared to dislike this documentary, but I actually enjoyed it. My omnivore status passed through it unscathed, however.

One of the parts I felt was least convincing, and a bit cheap, was the mother whose young son died of E.coli poisoning from an under-cooked hamburger. Obviously companies should be careful about their meat, but everyone should know that children should not be fed raw meat since they're highly susceptible to the risks of food-borne illness. That said, we live in an era when meat is unbelievably safe, partially due to the methods the movie tries to disgust you with (treating the beef with chemicals to kill bacteria), so that bit was somewhat contradictory.

Watch this to learn the truth about our food supply submitted by cathiek on August 6, 2011, 6:22pm Really great, brave documentary about what is really happening to our food supply. I hope everyone who gets a chance to watch this, does, as it's so important to everyone's health.

Shop locally and seasonally, especially Farmers' Markets and stay away from processed foods!

These big companies are ruining our food supply just to make money. We need to band together and vote with our dollars to say that we want healthy, safe food. It's up to us. Let's work together and it will get better. We can do this.

Please submitted by jjdijkstra81 on August 14, 2011, 10:03pm ....don't watch this if you love animals and seeing them abused makes you sick. I watched 10 minutes of this and it literally made me sick and I had to shut it off.

Must watch! submitted by pmysore on August 21, 2011, 10:23am Everyone must watch this movie. why? because the movie goes behinds the scene to explore and expose how the food that we eat today is "manufactured" as opposed to being "grown" or harvested. Buying cheap manufactured food (canned, packaged) will have long term consequences for your body. This movie had a tremendous impact on me to the extent, that i changed my food eating habits.

beware submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 9:06pm as long as you don't mind never eating meat again, i highly recommend this movie. if you are stuck on being a carnivore, STAY AWAY. i love meat but after seeing this documentary, i became a vegetarian for a month. just remember, you've been warned.

Great submitted by Motomori on August 15, 2012, 4:43pm Great video for what we really put inside our mouths every day! I don't recommend this for ages 10 or under, It'll freak them out a bit.

Reavealing and Thought Provoking submitted by xiwang on June 19, 2014, 2:42pm This video really shows what happens to our food. It can be very scary to know the truth!

Food, Inc. submitted by SBNB on June 22, 2014, 1:50pm I never want to eat again.

Good submitted by Kanchan21 on August 10, 2018, 10:21pm I think its a best documentary. Scary but something we must watch and think about.

Great submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 7:09pm If you are interested in - or concerned about - food and food culture, watch this video!

Food, Inc. submitted by c_zhang on June 28, 2019, 5:03pm As an avid meat eater, I couldn't get through ten minutes. It made me want to change the way I ate, but I never did.

Excellent video submitted by tbbrown76 on July 24, 2019, 11:20pm I show it to my APES class. Gives you some insight as to where our food comes from. Not much for solutions, but gets the conversation started. Recommended.
