I am amazed that this great documentary film has not gotten more wide-spread viewing among general audiences. Hopefully its nomination for Best Documentary at the 2010 Academy Awards will earn it some well-deserved viewership. This is truly a film that inspired us to change our lifestyles in the name of healthy and sustainable eating, and was an instrumental emotional motivator for us to start FoodieLink.

Some reviews:

Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun Times - "This review doesn't read one thing like a movie review. But most of the stuff I discuss in it, I learned from the new documentary "Food, Inc.," directed by Robert Kenner and based on the recent book An Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I figured it wasn't important for me to go into detail about the photography and the editing. I just wanted to scare the bejesus out of you, which is what "Food, Inc." did to me."

Jason Anderson - Toronto Star - "An invaluable primer, Food, Inc. covers a wide array of factors and concerns without becoming excessively polemical or deadeningly earnest."

Wesley Morris - Boston Glob - "The whole thing is as subtle as a watermelon in a bowl of Cheerios but necessary, nonetheless."

Andrew O'Hehir - Salon.com - "An engaging and often wrenching film, Food, Inc. covers a wide range of material, including the horrific, the humorous and the exemplary."
