Sneak preview. We stand in the midst of a revolution in the United States. Never before have Americans cared so much about their food — not only what's in it, but where it comes from and how it's produced. Food Inc. sets out to lift the veil from the corporate consolidation that has radically changed the face of US farming in the last half-century, making its case with verve, wit and an affable accessibility. Whether it's Michael Pollan holding forth on what monoculture means to US food consumption, all-star farmer Joel Salatin inviting us over for a Fourth-of-July feast, or Stonyfield Yogurt founder Gary Hirshberg explaining why Wal-Mart is doing some good, this is a story that will challenge your assumptions about food culture no matter what side of the fence you’re on.
