Editorial Reviews for Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It
|
Food, Inc. is guaranteed to shake up our perceptions of what we eat. This powerful documentary deconstructing the corporate food industry in America was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as more than a terrific movieit’s an important movie.” Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably? Expanding on the film’s themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Inspiring
Comment: An inspiring hard hitting book on the atrocities of the food industry in the USA. A good thought provoking read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Food, and its production is more complex than you think.
Comment: This book is a companion to the movie of the same name, and for maximum benefit you need access to the movie, however is it useful and informative by itself. If you are interested, really interested in what you eat and what our food choices (or forced lack of choices) mean, this is a good, easy read. The UPC on the cow on the cover (cleverly the UPC for the book) says a good deal about our modern food system; it provides food that is largely manufactured, processed, grown or raised in ways that are at stark contrast what most of us think looking at foods in the grocery store. In many cases, as the subtitle says, it is making us sick, fat and poor, and doing much the same to the rest of the world.
Another excellent book, more detailed, for further reading on this general topic, would be "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Micheal Pollan, which I also bought from Amazon.com.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A much needed wake up call
Comment: I purchased this book as a gift for my father who, while being a college professor, is a bit naive about sustainability and today's agricultural practices. For those who cannot grip the tremendous changes our production, labor, and farming practices have made this might help. Well written, full of facts and engaging topics, "Food, Inc." is a good start for those who want to make a change by starting small and being AWARE while providing resources for taking further steps.
Customer Rating:
Summary: FOOD, INC
Comment: This book really educated me and my co-workers on the products we buy and eat. I would recommend this book to everyone. I think books like this should be in schools throughout teh country so that kids understand at an early age the way things are made and the things that are being put on on dinner tables.
