Apart from the initial shock, below the surface, "Food, Inc." actually invites us to reflect deeper on where we're going as a modern civilization. According to the population-growth projections published by the World Bank(1), and a report published by Science Express(2), there are simply not enough resources to sustain a steady food-supply to all world population. There are simply too many of us living on Earth today. And more are still coming :) Admittedly, big corps' troublesome power and audacious pursuit of financial interest is a major, major letdown. Our best hope is that world governments are willing to pursue a more assertive agenda in making sure that corporations play fair and public awareness on the issues of food crisis and safety is being well-nurtured. Very good progress is steadily made in the area of biotechnology and genetic-engineering, so we do have a fighting chance to ensure a sustainable future in food-supply. But it's a difficult journey ahead. *1 http://datafinder.worldbank.org/population-total?cid=GPD_1 *2 http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/327/5967/812 Food, Inc. is definitely a must see.
