Book Reviews of Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It
Book Review: A much needed wake up call
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as a gift for my father who, while being a college professor, is a bit naive about sustainability and today's agricultural practices. For those who cannot grip the tremendous changes our production, labor, and farming practices have made this might help. Well written, full of facts and engaging topics, "Food, Inc." is a good start for those who want to make a change by starting small and being AWARE while providing resources for taking further steps.

Summary of Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It
Food, Inc. is guaranteed to shake up our perceptions of what we eat. This powerful documentary deconstructing the corporate food industry in America was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as ?more than a terrific movie?it's an important movie." Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably?
Expanding on the film's themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world.
