From the Sustainable Table blog:
As part of the Slow Food Nation’s weekend, Participant Productions (producer of such films as Fast Food Nation and An Inconvenient Truth) premiered several clips from their upcoming film Food, Inc., a documentary about our food system.
From what was shown, this film will portray the problems with our industrial food system. Food Inc will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in a week or two, with general release in early-ish 2009. (It will depend on getting a distributor and when they want to release the film.)
My thoughts on the clips - they were a little intense and a little depressing/overwhelming, but they got the message across, which, if you don’t know by now, is that our food system is falling apart. Agribusiness tries to fix it by applying bandages, but it’s simply starting to fall apart - and instead of putting a quick fix on the problems, we need to look at how to redefine the whole structure.
