It was still an entertaining documentary, and the people they chose to speak in it were very engaging for a number of different reasons. How many people see it will be an interesting thing though. Documentaries do not traditionally do to well, and this isn't something the majority of Americans--SADLY--think about. I’m glad I’m not the only one that found it a bit disjointed.

I enjoyed it immensely though for me, they are preaching to the choir. I do feel a great deal of excitement about the subject being brought into the public limelight - this needs to happen as often as possible. I also think that Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser are fabulous advocates for the cause who, with their realness, make you want to listen to every word they have to say. On the other hand, I found the film to be a bit choppy and disjointed. Quickly jumping from subject to subject like a kid who is talking too fast. Perhaps the problem is that there IS SO MUCH TO SAY, it is such a big problem in our world, that the minute one has the microphone, one wants to say it all. There are a dozen important documentarys here - you have to really pay attention or the impact of the factoid being dropped will pass you by. I went to the film last night.
