My wife got Food, Inc. through NetFlix this past week and it is an eye opening documentary.  Ever wonder where our food comes from?  This film answers that question.  Wonder why we seem to keep having outbreaks of e coli and salmonella that cause massive recalls on food?  This film shows some possible reasons for it.  Food, Inc. goes inside major food producing companies and shows what exactly goes into the mass producing of ground beef and chicken.  Comparisons to Upton Sinclair would not be out of order, showing images that would give the most hardened Saw fan pause as cattle and poultry are packed into areas like sardines, unable to move and standing in their own filth until butchered.  Most disturbing for me is the man who proudly shows the paste his company makes that is used as filler in most fast food burgers. Now I’m not some Peta radical calling for a boycott of all meat, but I think everyone should see this film so that you can make an informed decision on what kind of food you put in your own body.
