Eating is a political act.

A new documentary called Food, Inc. looks beyond your dinner table to reveal the truth behind how food is grown, processed and sold, and the people behind the system — the corporations, the struggling farmers, the mega-processors, the exploited workers, and the confused consumers — some of whom have paid the ultimate price for trusting a food system that’s lost its way.

Food, Inc.’s ultimate message is that you have the power to demand that our food system produces food that is safe to eat. The choice has never been clearer: the current system run by giant monopolies exploiting workers, farmers and consumers, or a future of sustainable agriculture, equitable work standards, and food that is safe to feed our families.

Stonyfield is proud to be part of this film and prouder still that the questions raised in Food, Inc. point to organic food as the answer to the pressing issues of food safety, corporate greed, and the oppression that puts many family farmers and others out of business.

Watch Food, Inc. and you’ll understand that what you decide to put on your dinner plate matters — a lot. We truly are what we eat.
