Fast Food Nation (2006)

From NetFlix: "Richard Linklater's fictional tale (inspired by Eric Schlosser's 2001 nonfiction book of the same name) critiques the junk-food juggernaut that's arguably responsible for America's alarming obesity rates. Greg Kinnear plays Don Henderson, a corporate exec of a national fast-food chain, who follows beef's journey from the corrals to the slaughterhouses -- and ultimately to your stomach. Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Bruce Willis co-star.  2006

DJE:  This is a memorable film (albeit disturbing) and a find companion to "Food Inc." and "Supersize Me."

Food, Inc.

You'll never look at dinner the same way after watching Food, Inc. This is a powerfully moving film that complements The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan, the movie Supersize me, and Animal, Vegetable and Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (among other recent books and films).

Food, Inc. exposes America's industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers' rights. See: About Food, Inc.

This movie is well-worth watching, re:watching and studying.
A unique companion book explores the challenges raised by the film in great depth.

Supersize Me (2004)

"Super Size Me" is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It's an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a 'McDonald's only' diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death. (from trailer page) Trailer 2004 98 minutes
