Food Inc. (Bob says 2 out of 4)

1. Did I enjoy it? YES
Robert Kenner directs this documentary on large-scale agricultural food production in the United States. The film received controversy because of its negative depiction of the industry, displaying hidden costs and the unhealthy and harmful practices inflicted on animals, workers and consumers. I'm convinced that eating healthy, organic food is a much better choice for meals any day of the week. The problem, as the documentary notes, is that the best choices are also the most expensive ones. Thus, we continue to compromise. Food Inc. is a good film that encourages consumers to get on the band wagon and make wiser decisions with the food we purchase. Eventually, businesses will notice.

2. Would I watch it again? NO
This was very informative and engaging, but I probably wouldn't rush out to see it repeatedly. The film does have an important message and is worth your rental.
