You put food in your mouth every day. But do you know exactly what you're consuming when you pick up chicken breasts at the grocery store or drive though a fast-food restaurant for a cheeseburger? Or do you even bother to care?
Probably not, director Robert Kenner says in his documentary "Food, Inc." _ and you should.
Kenner presents an even-tempered but nonetheless horrifying dissection of the U.S. food industry, where corporate-owned, mass-produced and chemically enhanced edibles can be unhealthy at best and deadly at worst. One look inside a cramped, dusty chicken house _ where the birds are so puffed up with steroids, they collapse under the weight of their breasts and die before they can be slaughtered _ will make you think twice about how you spend your money at the supermarket.
(Representatives from food industry behemoths like Tyson and Perdue wouldn't speak to Kenner for his film.)
