It was difficult to find a critical review of Food Inc., considering how well it was made and how valid its points are. The review from NPR, a more liberal than conservative radio station, broke the movie down into various sections that the critic liked, including the organic farmer Joel Salatin and the impoverished Orozcos family. The review from Box Office Magazine, a magazine of movie reviews has a more general review of the film. This review sort of summarizes the film, while also talking about a couple of issues a little more in depth. One of these issues is the mother and daughter making a trip to Washington D.C. to try get a law passed to prevent bacteria like E. coli infecting our food. (This law has been passed and is know as Kevin's Law). The last review is from the New York Times. This review talks about how good the film's case is, but does give one small criticism. This critic claims that at several times throughout the film it stops short before really getting started. I guess that is true in a sense, but the film covers so many different points that the director can only allocate so much time to each point.
