Robert Kenner

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry,
exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American
consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA
and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations
that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American
farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted
chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes
that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria
that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with
widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes
among adults. Filmmaker in-person.
