In Food, Inc. 2, the sequel to the 2008 Oscar®-nominated and Emmy®-award winning documentary, Food, Inc., filmmakers Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) to take a fresh look at our efficient yet vulnerable food system. Since the first film, multinational corporations have tightened their stronghold on the U.S. government. The system at large has robbed workers of a fair living wage, and profit focused corporations are proliferating a chemically formulated international health crisis by focusing on growing the market for ultra-processed foods.
The film centers around innovative farmers, future-thinking food producers, workers’ rights activists and prominent legislators such as U.S Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, who are facing these companies head-on to inspire change and build a healthier, more sustainable future.

THIS is journalism. Not just reporting but follow ups to see and acknowledge change

Wrong! It is the exact opposite of journalism because it offers only one point of view from the organic industry propaganda campaign. If you are under 40 years old you have never seen a world free of the largest longest marketing propaganda campaign in all history. Organic industry tyranny for 33 years and counting: "Although GMOs are regarded as safe as their conventional counterparts by every major food safety authority in the world, the organic industry spends nearly $3 billion a year through over 330 different organizations leading with fear and “information spin” as an industry to sell their products. They also sent a $160,000 cash bribe to the IARC to buy that claim of a low cancer risk from glyphosate, it paved the way for abuse of our legal system in false cancer lawsuits. By creating an unfounded fear that requires tighter regulations on GMO crops, they are hoping to force them out of the food supply, thereby creating a bigger market share to sell more products in their more than $65 billion wheelhouse. The unfortunate consequence of these [non-GMO] labels is that the food companies and lobbyists tend to create an unnecessary “us vs. them” divide. When food companies use fear against competitors to sell a product, farmers take it personally." Agdaily dot com/insights/farm-babe-label-trends-end/ Now why do you suppose organic food is so expensive?? Imagine what 3 billion dollars could do for humanitarian goals - end a different disease forever every year.... End all hunger in at least one country...... Funding nasty propaganda? Really??

No. It is activism for the organic foods cartel. "I marvel at how anti-ag “shockumentaries” never fall into that rut. You know, in the time-honored, inflammatory vein of “Food Inc.,” “Cowspiracy,” “Farmageddon,” etc. Through clever wordplays, provocative imagery, and anecdotes, they appeal to the everyman/woman in us all. The directors know how to press the right buttons - they have the pseudoscience down to a science. These glorified infomercials are entertaining (in a cringey way), just insufferably formulaic. They dredge up the same old tired, recycled arguments. They artfully embellish with alternative facts and ignore whatever doesn’t suit. It banks on shallow soundbytes taken at face value, rather than a critical analysis of content. In effect, predatory messaging for the masses. Thanks to Sound Speed PR, I recently had the opportunity to review a new entry to the shockumentary genre: “Secret Ingredients.” True to form, it’s an alphabet soup of common gripes, all rolled into a tidy package. Essentially, the duo of GMOs and Roundup are responsible for all our chronic health ills. The tabloid-esque assertions are so absurd, and the visuals so comically overblown (a butterfly fleeing in terror from a cropduster, and a Monsanto-branded tanker truck ferrying Roundup and Agent Orange on the road?) it seemingly borders on self-parody. But it’s deadly serious. The messaging relies too heavily on absurd reductionism. The core message is that all of our health ills can be attributed to just a couple of dubious actors. By withdrawing these players from our diets, we can experience a near instantaneous health renewal. These calls for a health renaissance are delectably simple and elegant - and also laughably wrong. It desperately needs a dose of narrative Pepto-Bismol. So where did it go astray? Let me count the ways. The brainchild of this opus is Jeffery Smith, of the Institute for Responsible Technology, with a special guest appearance by Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America, among others. You know you’re in for an epic pilgrimage into factual no-man’s land. At the title screen, “Secret Ingredients” wafts insidiously from a loaded dinner plate. It starts with a family beset with tragedy - all sorts of chronic conditions cropping up (21 in all), including autism. And these were self-described health nuts. So the mom embarks on an odyssey of discovery to connect the dots. After doing “research” (a common trope for those dissatisfied with modern science), the answer was obvious - ditch the GMOs and Roundup! We’re told that “independent” scientists disagree about the health consensus surrounding GMOs - implying that they have the moral scruples to resist pro-GMO payola. For their integrity, they’re the victims of a vicious industry response that punishes anyone who dares to question. There’s even mention of Bt insecticidal proteins made by select GMO crops - and how those proteins carve holes in the guts of insect pests, killing them. Imagine what it would do to us! Well, nothing actually. We lack the proper gut receptors to latch on to. We also don’t have alkaline guts, another prerequisite. No overdose of Tums is going to change that. There’s also the fact that Bt has been sprayed organically for 90 years. Live, formulated, chemical payloads. A pesticide. Spray it or give the plant the ability to make it in-house. There’s no meaningful difference, except in delivery. The most hate seems to be directed at Roundup. According to the film’s “esteemed” experts, Roundup and GMOs are two peas in a pod. It’s implicated in body burden (all the toxins that accrue in our systems and screw up the works). A pediatrician confidently states that we should go organic to avoid GMOs (generally true if you want to avoid them), and pesticides (I’d check your references). And when she wrote this “prescription,” the results were miraculous! When a child was tested for glyphosate, he had 8x higher levels than those in Europe (are we going to quibble about near-nil and closer to near-nil levels?) Are those levels biologically impactful? Not at all. More than 40 years to data can attest to that. And don’t forget the generic catch-all condition of “inflammation” and the clinically unrecognized “leaky gut”. Autism, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain fog, “Secret Ingredients” says they’re all singularly due to Roundup. Clinical mic drop! Futurist Carl Sagan claimed that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” “Secret Ingredients” takes the proverbial cake. From a coarse understanding of the scientific method, including a lack of reproducibility and corroborating evidence and cherry-picking, the empirical and ethical lapses are striking."

What shames this nation? That Farmers, not the corp owners, get $0.03 per pound for MOST grains, corn, friuts and veggies in the USA. That Processing is done with interaction of LESS THAN, 5 people for every part of the food inspection, and takes NO MORE then SECONDS.. Then is SHIPPED, you can NOT buy(we used to) Direct from the processor, To The Major and minor Companies that re-package the Good and sell them. OR create OTHER products, Like those $1 TV dinners that weight about 10-12 oz. And even the $5 TV dinners that weight no more then 16oz. With a piece of meat in it. That Out opf all the grains and corn we grow, over 60% os EXPORTED, and they say we Dont have Enough to make Alsohol Fuel for cars, even adding fruit thats NOT harvested or is thrown away.

Liar!!! All US crops are tested for safe trace amounts of pesticide residues. Only organic crops fail these tests. SECOND LIE - We have more than enough to make corn ethanol and we do, in a very wasteful project that ends up using more resources than can be saved with lowered vehicle emissions. This is partly for farmers who need a buyer for their massive corn output. Misleading claim - you try to present our grain exports as a negative thing and a cause of US shortages when the exact opposite is true. Using food waste to generate biofuels is smart and a way to reduce the damage of food waste's methane emissions. FACT CHECK - A convenient $5 frozen meal is an option that is in no way a bad thing. It offers a sensible portion size. You are flagged for malicious misinformation.

This is showing today in CT. One day, but I’m going to skip it as the trailer showed nothing new from previous documentaries from vegan Cory booker and the pollan guy. Not worth paying $29 for same rehashed stuff.

It's the same trailer for the original movie. Even you guys seem to be trying to screw people out of more money for the same product.
