The film states there are only 13 slaughterhouses in the US.[ http://getafilm.blogspot.com/2009/04/on-horizon-food-inc.html] Since I knew of 2 within a few miles of where I live, I thought this number sounded low. The wikipedia page on slaughterhouses states there are 5,700 in the United States. This seems like a large discrepancy. Makes me wonder what other facts stated in the film are in error? 68.111.246.29 ( talk) 17:11, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
It should be pointed out that it is not really wize to use Wikipedia as a source for anything. It is a good place to begin but you can't take articles seriously. Gingermint ( talk) 04:23, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
I added a link to one of the issues covered, its a bit messy, but I wonder if we couldn't go a bit more into detail as to the content. Certainly this is the norm with most movies and novels. Unomi ( talk) 19:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
I note that there is a dead link referring to "food label laws" Possibly this is a typo? From context, food libel laws were discussed in the film, including the case in which Oprah Winfrey was sued for criticizing beef. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.100.117.142 ( talk) 19:56, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
The second and third sentence in the "Controversy" section does not make sense. Could someone correct the ambiguous pronouns and clear up who invited who and what happened? Prottos007 ( talk) 17:31, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I think the article is fairly biased. The article should point out some of the controversy about the POV of the movie, reference some rebuttals and answers and concerns if the movie is providing the facts correctly. There has been at least some claims in the movie (seed cleaners being "hunted", sueing farmers who had some of their crops unintentionally infected with the patented seeds) that have been disputed (i.e.

Can someone find and incorporate information about Kevin's Law into this article, or create a whole separate one? Interestingly, there is very little solid information about this senate bill. Personally, I think it merits its own article here. SweetNightmares ( talk) 07:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Food, Inc. ist NOT a "anti-modernist film". It's a very modern film. Like others:
I feel like no one on here has mentioned corn enough, which I believe to have been a big part of this film. Kenner put a whole section in the film dedicated to how we abuse corn and manipulate it to be substitute for so much of the "food" we eat. In fact in part of the movie it compared walking down a grocery store aisle to walking down a field of corn. After watching this movie it seriously made me think twice about what I ate before I ate it. Just think about it, how much of the food we use is actually food and how much of it is the chemically processed food? There are also commercials being shown out in television that claim that corn syrup is not unhealthy at all and that it's ok to consume because it's made from corn, has the same calories as sugar and honey, and fine in moderation. However they fail to mention that basically everything you buy at the supermarket has high fructose corn syrup which makes it almost impossible to consume in moderation, real sugar tastes better, etc. Overall my point is that corn was a big part/contribution to the film and I felt like it went under rated/not cared about. When indeed it should have gone noticed. Anabananas27 ( talk) 13:18, 1 December 2010 (UTC) [1]

I don't understand why it is relevant to the article to include this section.
I can see nothing linking the listed articles except for subject matter and a shared political view point - they're all the work of different people.
It's like "If you liked this, you may like these". It's abnormal for Wikipedia to advertise in this way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.181.132 ( talk) 21:48, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
