Just wondering who saw this film and found it motivating?  I took a friend who I have been talking with for some time about eating more locally and healthy without too much impact.  After we saw the movie he is on a band wagon to 1) find more local sources for food and 2) to get his kids motivated to eat better.  Funny but I have a website and blog dedicated to health and nutrition and, although he and his daughter are becoming more interested in a healthier lifestyle, it really was this movie that made the difference.  :-)  Let me know what you thought!

I think this is an important film, and film is a powerful medium.  So hopefully the message will reach out to a large enough audience to effect changes.  I talk with all of my friends and co-workers about this film, along with the contributing headliners (Pollan, and Schlosser) both of whom have written important food industry pieces.  Spread the word!!!

I just saw it recently - and although I had heard about most of it, prior to the movie, it was good to see again. I have several family members that are now making big changes to their diets since seeing the movie! So I think it is great!

It is a great movie- and is out on DVD.  From what others had prepared me for- I was actually not as traumatized as I thought I might be.  I've definitely made an effort to purchase my meats locally & organic if possible.  Farmers markets are also great! The cost is a little more expensive, but I've found it's worth it, the food not only tastes better- but I feel better about what I am serving my friends & family!

I was prepared to be traumatized by the treatment of the animals...not by how Americans are being treated.  I'm still reeling. I've purchased a copy of the DVD so I can share the news more, and I've purchased and am reading the companion book, Food, Inc.  I am seriously assessing and re-assessing the labor -v- cost -v- availability of healthy meat.  I have room for a lamb, and probably a steer or heifer.  If I lean toward a smaller breeds, I could consider running a heifer and a calf.  And I'm zoned Ag/Commercial, so I'm still safe there...so far. You can bet my garden beds will be up and producing soon!

Hi! I have Food Inc on my blog.If anyone still hasn't seen this movie, it's a must. It's in the sidebar under December 2009. Megavideo is the host so you can watch 72 minutes then there is a 55 minute wait to finish the movie. Unfortunatly it was the only host I could find that plays well.
