Food, Inc.
glyphic:
Yeah, that movie was pretty well done. Pretty much any scene involving the meat packing plant or the workers therein made me sick and furious.
2 sick 2 furious!
pilsner:
Ugh, I could not get more than 30 minutes into Fast Food Nation. The whole not exercising thing made the movie kind of absurd from a documentary aspect. It frustrated me that it could have been so much better than it was.

are we sure we're talking about the same movie? fast food nation doesn't actually say anything about people being overweight, it's about the meat packing industry and people who work in it. it's also more of an impartial drama than a specific preachy indictment of anyone.
which is why it's also pretty depressing, since at the end the message is pretty much "welp, we're all basically fucked."
pilsner:
I am actually totally confusing it with Supersize Me, apologies. Wow, there have been a lot of movies over the past few years criticizing the hamburger making/selling industry.
I still have to see Fast Food Nation! Maybe I'll watch it in a double header with Food Inc. and then go vegan for a week...

I saw Food, Inc. in the theatre and it was pretty slammin.
Also, has anyone seen King Corn? It's a pretty great look into the inner workings corn industry filmed by two cool dudes that now have an organic farm in the back of their pickup truck in NYC. Makes you much more aware and in tune with what High Fructose Corn Syrup actually is. Oh, and it's filmed beautifully.
