IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1286537/

Looks like it'll be a good movie. I've often wondered how you can buy a cooked rotisserie chicken for $7 at Safeway and still have everyone up the supply chain make a profit (Safeway's worker that packaged it, Safeway itself, the hauling company, the meat processing plant, the employees at the chicken farm, the chicken farm itself, etc).

A co-worker told me that the meat industry (pork, beef, poultry) is heavily subsidized by the government... could explain a lot, I guess.


Does anyone know if this will be playing at any of the theaters in Calgary?

Michael Pollan is a smart and wise man.

Everyone should read his book "In Defense of Food".
