Food Inc.: A Participant Guide (Media tie-in) by Karl Weber
A whole new kind of movie tie-in--the first in a series--goes behind the scenes and deeper into the issues and ideas raised by a provocative documentary on the contemporary way of eating
David Denby, New Yorker "Those of us who avoid junk food, with many sighs of relief and self-approval, may still be eating junk a good deal of the timeThis enraging fact, which will not surprise anyone who has read such muckraking books as Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation" (2001) and Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (2006), is one of the discomforting meanings of the powerful new documentary "Food, Inc.," an angry blast of disgust aimed at the American food industry." The American Conservative "If you care about what you're eating, you should see the new documentary Food Inc." Takepart.com "Most of you have probably heard about Food, Inc., the movie, but did you also know there's a companion book to the film? The book explores the challenges raised by the movie in fascinating depth through 13 essays, most of them written especially for this book, and many by experts featured in the film. Highlights include chapters by Michael Pollan (Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food), Anna Lappe (Hope's Edge and Grub), Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation and film co-producer), Robert Kenner (film director), and a chapter on asking the right questions from Sustainable Table! The book is so popular it's already in its fourth printing."
