In Food, Inc., film-maker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the food industry, exposing the highly mechanised underbelly that’s been hidden from the consumer with the consent of government regulatory agencies. Food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of farmers, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E coli, the harmful bacteria that cause illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.There is widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults. Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma), along with forward-thinking social entrepreneurs such as Stonyfield Farm’s Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farm’s Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become and where we are going from here.

Oscar-nominated documentary - still available, just £1.39 delivered.

Amazon & Play currently sell this DVD for around £6 (cheapest I've seen), with 5 star reviews.
I assume this version might just come in a small cardboard sleeve, as this stock seems to be from an old freebie Sunday Times offer (from April this year). Apparently very hard-hitting and definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but a bargain if you're into this type of documentary!
