Big-Screen Debut: The Rant Against Corporate Food Suppliers

By ACSH Staff — Jun 10, 2009
The documentary Food, Inc., which argues the evils of big corporations behind America s food industry, hits the box office on Friday. So far, interviews with the creative minds behind the film have failed to impress ACSH staffers. When folks who make movies like this are interviewed about factory farming, animal supplements, and [the protein hormone] rBST, I can safely predict that they will be full of misinformation, says ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross.

They just assume that big corporations have too much control, so they get away with demonizing mass-production techniques -- which are used in organic farming, too, incidentally, says ACSH's Dr. Ruth Kava. This sounds like it will just be more propaganda for anti-industrial farming and anti-food-corporation activist groups.
