"[T]he superb FOOD, INC. offers an elegantly constructed and absorbing analysis of the monolithic U.S. food industry."

- Nicolas Rapold, Film Comment

5 stars out of 5 -- "It's a sobering and worthwhile look at an important subject many have not even thought about....FOOD, INC.'s end credit sequence offers numerous ways the consumer can and should make a difference."

- Pete Hammond, Box Office

"[A] smart, expertly shot documentary....[The film] gives an eloquent array of writers, activists and farmers time to enlighten us about the perils on our plates, but now without offering hope for a safer future."

- Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

"[A]n informative, often infuriating activist documentary....You'll shudder, shake and just possibly lose your genetically modified lunch."

- Manohla Dargis, New York Times

"Kenner takes you through these unsettling stories through a mix of articulate talking heads, cameras peering where Food Inc. doesn't want scrutiny, citizens lobbying their representatives in Congress and entertaining graphics and animation."

- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

"Kenner takes audiences deep into the ugly underbelly of American food production....Its heroes are realists who've found a way to be relatively humane within the system..."

- Nathan Rabin, A.V. Club

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Kenner keeps his film bouncing with humor, music and graphics....The message he's delivered with the help of nutrition activists, including Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan is an eye-opener."

- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The Best Films Of The Year" -- "[A] brilliant documentary about what we think we eat, and about what that food really is."

- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
