<h3>Synopsis</h3>
<blockquote id="StationeryCiteGenerated_1">
<p style=""><img src="cid:part1.02060405.02070009@mynas.com" alt=""
align="right" height="360" hspace="10" width="265">In <strong>Food,
Inc.</strong>, filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's
food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's 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, insecticide-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.<br>
<br>
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser ("Fast Food
Nation"), Michael Pollan ("The Omnivore's Dilemma") along with forward
thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg
and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, <strong>Food, Inc.</strong> reveals
surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how it's
produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from
here.<br>
<br>
<strong>Food, Inc.</strong> will be accompanied by <i><strong>Notes
on Milk</strong></i>, a short variation of the 2007 feature documentary
<em>Milk in the Land: Ballad of an American Drink</em>. Ariana
Gerstein and Monteith McCollum, whose <i><strong>Hybrid</strong></i>
aired on POV in 2002, take a quirky and poetic look at some
lesser-known aspects of America’s favorite drink: the industry’s
spiritual underpinnings, politics and the struggle of independent
farmers.<br>
