Featuring insights from leading experts, this used book in good condition serves as an essential companion to the acclaimed documentary, empowering readers to make informed, healthier food choices and challenge the status quo of American food production. ## Description Food, Inc. is guaranteed to shake up our perceptions of what we eat. This powerful documentary deconstructing the corporate food industry in America was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as "more than a terrific movie -- it's an important movie." Aided by expert commentators such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses questions such as: Where has my food come from, and who has processed it? What are the giant agribusinesses and what stake do they have in maintaining the status quo of food production and consumption? How can I feed my family healthy foods affordably? Expanding on the film's themes, the book Food, Inc. will answer those questions through a series of challenging essays by leading experts and thinkers. This book will encourage those inspired by the film to learn more about the issues, and act to change the world. Review: A Flawed Yet Very Informative Book - Its rare that I learn as much about a subject as I have from Food, Inc. Accordingly, even though this is far from a perfect book, I give it my highest rating. The "book" is actually a series of essays written by a selection of very knowledgeable persons and groups, detailing the adverse effects of the industrialization of the food industry. Each of the articles takes a slightly different tact, but collectively, they comprise a very effective attack on the large, multinational food and farming corporations and the governmental agencies which are supposed to be regulating them. The book describes their decimation of the environment, the adverse effects of their practices on the health of our citizenry (obesity and the effect of the pervasive use of pesticides, hormones and antibiotics), the harm their activities cause to the economies of the poorest of the third world nations (and the resulting increase in malnutrition and starvation), and their shameful disregard for even the most basic welfare of the animals that grace our dinner plates. On the negative side, many of the essays are duplicative, and others are obvious and repetitive. Additionally, the editors who selected the writings don't even make a pretense of subjectivity. Notwithstanding these negatives, the book nonetheless very powerfully and effectively argues that when it comes to farming, agriculture, and other aspects of the food business, the old ways are most certainly the best. Review: It's Time To Redefine What Food Is In America - Watching Food, Inc. was a life-changing experience for so many of us who are committed to the idea of living a healthy lifestyle centered around consuming real, whole foods that are preferably sourced locally where we live and without all the modern-day industrialized practices that dominate much of what is called "food" in the United States in the 21st Century. This powerful documentary shone a great light on problems like factory farming while extolling the virtues of choosing more organic vegetables and grass-fed meats for optimal health and longevity. It's a deep subject that warranted even further discussion which is why FOOD INC.: A PARTICIPANT GUIDE was created. Featuring many of the major players from the film--namely Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan, Marion Nestle, Joel Salatin, and more--this book includes some poignant essays designed to make you think about how Americans typically buy what they think is "food" and what REAL food looks like by stark contrast. It's funny, our grandparents from just a couple of generations ago didn't have to call what they ate "real food"...they simply called it "food." It's time we return to those days again and books like this one along with the companion DVD Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It will help make that happen. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #273,524 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,132 in Nutrition (Books) #1,898 in Performing Arts (Books) #9,528 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 251 Reviews | ## Images ![Food, Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wc3v8TQTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Flawed Yet Very Informative Book *by K***A on September 28, 2011* Its rare that I learn as much about a subject as I have from Food, Inc.

If you are interested, really interested in what you eat and what our food choices (or forced lack of choices) mean, this is a good, easy read. The UPC on the cow on the cover (cleverly the UPC for the book) says a good deal about our modern food system; it provides food that is largely manufactured, processed, grown or raised in ways that are at stark contrast what most of us think looking at foods in the grocery store. In many cases, as the subtitle says, it is making us sick, fat and poor, and doing much the same to the rest of the world. Another excellent book, more detailed, for further reading on this general topic, would be "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Micheal Pollan, which I also bought from Amazon.com. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5597347-food-inc-a-participant-guide-how-industrial-food-is-making](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5597347-food-inc-a-participant-guide-how-industrial-food-is-making) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
