Food Inc puts intensive modern farming under the spotlight

Food, Inc. opens on 12th February and features factory farming, making it the ideal Valentine's day date film.
25% of us are obese. GM crops have slipped into our grocery stores and kitchen pantries without us knowing. Our food production systems stress animals, rely on ever-increasing quantities of pesticides, and leave one sixth of the world population without secure access to food. That's the contention of Food Inc, a forthcoming film from the same distributors that brought us ‘End of the Line'. It takes a look under the surface of the US food production industry to examine how we get our food in a modern, mechanized society.
While we don't campaign on food issues, it looks like it'll be pretty interesting - check out more details here: www.foodincmovie.co.uk The film opens on the 12th February, and as with other small but worthy films, (like Age of Stupid, for example) it's the first week that makes the difference in terms of getting rebooked - so maybe go along and check it out.
