January 28th 2010, 11:30am: Food Inc.

A film by Robert Kenner

How much do we actually know about the food we buy and eat everyday?  In Food Inc., director Robert Kenner explores America's food industry and exposes shocking information that-- until now-- has been deliberately hidden from us.  Most people don't realize that our food supply is controlled by just a few large corporations who don't care about the environment, the livlihood of the farmers who produce the food, the safety of workers, or even the health of their consumers.  Kenner's film reveals the truth behind the food we eat, the way it's produced, and what this means for us as a nation.
