Meet Your New Farmer: Hungry Corporate Giant
In this supportive review from the New York Times, liberal newspaper, Manohla Dargis refers to the movie as being “informative” and “infuriating”. One problem that the review points out was that it was slightly too ambitious and therefore did not necessarily go into enough detail about every section. Dargis says that the movie often “stops short before it really gets started”. Debates are not full developed in the movie. This review is fully behind the movie in blaming corporations for all that has gone wrong.
Movie Review: Food, Inc.
This review comes from a movie reviewing sight, as opposed to a news source with a known political tilt. I have to say that none of the review I came across can actually considered in the middle. Although this one does try not to lean to far, it seems to favor the movie and its ideas. It points out the good like how the information was a “mixture of interesting and completely disturbing” and that the people interviewed were knowledgeable and presented different views of the industry. It also points out the bad, the fact that the other side is missing and like the New York Times article, that topics were sometimes rushed.
Artificially Fattened Chickens, New Strains of E. Coli-Film Seeks to ‘Expose’ U.S. Food Industry
This critique of Food, Inc comes from Fox, a relatively conservative news source, and points to the fact that the movie was very one sided. It points out that all through large companies refused to be interviewed for the movie, they have not stayed silent. Those in the industry are working together to counter the claims of the movie, creating websites like Safefoodinc.com. The article claims that the movie delivers misinformation about the industry, which consists of 98% family owned farms, is very interested in the well-being of animals.
