Food, Inc is one of the most disruptive documentaries I"ve ever seen. Watch it. Make your family watch it. It's tough, you may want to throw up during a few scenes, but it might be the most important film you ever see.
I scanned for criticism expecting to find controversy, embellishments, and half truths as the norm with documentaries where the director really wants to drive his point home (Michael Moore is somewhat infamous for this).
To my disbelief, it appears to be completely accurate.
I found 2 camps of critics:
1) vegetarians. understandable - they said the movie sucked because it didn't preach avoiding meat products altogether. I sympathise, but doesn't make it a bad movie. Baby steps.
2) farmers. they were offended at how menacing it made them look. But, they generally agreed that everything in the movie was true.
Best documentary of 2012 so far (despite being released years ago. I missed it.)
