#Foodinc2 expands on the original Food, Inc.'s ideas of encouraging consumers to change the food system. Its interesting facts opened my eyes to the corrupt system that exists currently. I like that the film inspires people to solve these problems. It doesn’t scare the viewer but provides hope for alternative solutions. The film follows #MichaelPollan, known for his books about socio-cultural impact of food such as The #BotanyofDesire and The Omnivore's Dilemma. This documentary investigates the food industry and shows the not-so-pretty parts. Pollan interviews experts as well as people in food production and distribution personally -- farmers, scientists, and entrepreneurs. Pollan narrates the film. An author and an investigative journalist, he shows people and places that show how corporate food companies are hurting small businesses and the environment. Another claim he makes is that animals are not being treated humanely in food production. He brings in various people to speak about the food business including Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, US Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester and Pat Brown, a former Stanford professor who is the founder of Impossible Foods. He states that, if we replaced cows, it could give us 30 more years before greenhouse gases rise further. At times, there is some creative animation that demonstrates what he is discussing, but most of the film is shot in typical documentary style. The film’s directors, Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo, are wonderful at displaying various aspects of the food industry, including beautiful shots of sustainable farms and labs. I was truly shocked by the alarming facts about the food industry that are presented here. For example, a third of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world come from the food industry. That is just one of many startling facts in this film. Releasing in select cities April 9; on digital April 12, 2024. https://lnkd.in/eE5j49j9

I loved (and was dismayed/enraged/enlightened by) Food Inc. and very much looking to this.
