***½ Food, Inc. (2008)

Somethings are good to leave behind to imagination when the reality would scare you.
This documentary explores where the food we purchase at the grocery store really comes from, and what it means for the health of future generations. The truth on the following items : relationships between business and government, agencies that were suppose to protect the public USDA and FDA , Government regulatory agency putting profit ahead of consumer health, the American farmer, worker safety and the environment. The problems are reasons are discussed on genetically engineered chicken and tomatoes, new strains of E. coli every year, obesity and diabetes proportions. After watching the movie one might wonder what's left to eat that does not come under corporate exploitation.

One liner: Makes you think before you put anything in your mouth.
