Left a bad taste in my mouth
Not because I was put off by the way food is produced. But because I felt like I was being force-fed my own opinions.
A previous poster on these boards pointed out that a good documentary will present the facts and let you make up your own mind.
This film just made too many assumptions - e.g. that GM foods are worse, or that organic is better. These two topics could have been explored and debated, instead of assuming that the audience already agrees with the filmmakers.
Also, I objected to the blatant use of the child's death as emotive leverage. His tragic death may well have been the fault of the meat producers, but there was too much time spent on this.
The storyline of "Evil Multinationals versus The Little People" is a bit too simplistic for my tastes, as is the nostalgic view that "The Old Ways Are Better".
And finally, why do American filmmakers insist on pretending that the rest of the world doesn't exist? If you're going to talk about the ecology, you can't limit your discussion to just one country.
Basically, a bit too preachy for my liking.
