Great movie about the TRUTH
This is,by far, one the BEST movies I've ever seen in my 10 years of life.This has some haunting (yes,haunting)scenes and music that will keep you thinking long after the credits. There are some violent,unpleasent sceness with the slaughterhouses,but really nothing more explict than that. This movie will change your life,and the way you eat.Eat organic and be vegitarian or vegan!.

a review about the movie Food, Inc.
I loved this movie. Although I didn't understand some of the fancy (science-y) language used my dad was able to help out. During the scenes in the slaughterhouses I looked away a bit and my mom left the room, but after those few scenes the movie is fine. For young children watching this movie the parents will have to explain some things to them and you may want to skip the slaughterhouse scenes, but still explain why you skipped it/ what you skipped. I live in Canada, and I think that most of these brands are US only; so that part was a bit confusing, but I still liked the overall movie. What drew me in was the cover and title. I love that cow with the barcode on it. But I've also read Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson's YA novel "Chew on This." I would suggest this movie to anyone, definitely a must see. (I didn't want to put an age thing on but I couldn't post the review unless I did.)

Crucial Information
Something everyone, even kids, has to know. If you think the violence is a problem, you probably shouldn't support it by buying meat.

Great Exciting Movie
This movie is an Amazing documentary about the things that cruel slaughtering houses do to chickens, cows, pigs, ect. I am a 12 year old vegetarian and found this very interesting, But it does show, Chickens getting there necks slit, Cows being killed, pigs being smushed to death and evil things that Perdue chicken, Tyson Chicken, and more did. So i think it should be 10 +

Amazing
This film is what made me decide to become vegan. If it weren't for this film, I probably would still be eating eggs and dairy. Thanks to Food, Inc., I've had a better look at what's wrong with factory farming and how I can help stop it. It's very educational and informative, but some scenes are very heartbreaking and gruesome, so I had to look away.
