This movie makes very uncomfortable viewing, but it is also a thought-provoking way to address the issue of the ways big businesses control the food chain. In Food, Inc, film-maker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the US food industry, exposing the highly mechanised processes that are largely witheld from the consumer. Kenner argues that the food supply chain is now controlled by a small number of corporations which put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of farmers, employee safety and animal welfare.
