From the Critics:
"A film that reminds me why people should shop at the farmers' markets. The best food flick I've seen."
David Nicholson, Midtown Farmers Market Manager
"Don't take another bite till you see Food, Inc., an essential, indelible documentary."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"See it. Bring your kids if you have them. Bring someone else's kids if you don't."
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
"I'm not generally in the habit of praising movies for being good for you, but Food, Inc. is more than just a terrific documentary-it's an important movie, one that nourishes your knowledge of how the world works."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"Required Viewing. One of the year's most important films. "
Rossiter Drake, 7x7
