Food, Inc.

Just a brief Friday thought here -- if you live in New York, L.A. or San Fran I'm jealous because starting today you can go see the new movie: Food, Inc. Click here to see more about it or watch a trailer. Eric Schlosser co-produces (the great writer behind Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan is featured along with some of the people he features in The Omnivore's Dilemma (and mentions briefly in In Defense of Food). I'm really excited about this movie. The initial reviews have been execellent (still very early on Rotten Tomatoes but it's at 96% as of today). And there's a companion book that contains about 12 essays on topics covered in the movie. Mine's in the mail and you can get yours here. I just hope it doesn't remain an indy gem and that people actually get out there and see it.

Thanks everyone for your support. Have an excellent and healthy weekend.

  1. After it's opening weekend in NYC, LA and SF, Food, Inc. is still at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's opening Friday at the Landmark Theater in Chicago and Highland Park, and apparently in Atlanta, Boston, St. Louis and D.C. No word on a wider national release at this point. Check out the website and more info on the movie through my main post above.
