Take a friend, take a family member. Take someone that eats fast food, take someone that just eats without thinking about it. Go watch this film. It was thoughtful, scary, and even hopeful.
"Food, Inc." didn't discuss vegetarianism as a healthy alternative to the dangers (outbreaks!) associated with factory farming (in fact, I don't remember hearing the word 'vegetarian' ONCE)... but it did bring under a bright light what many people would rather keep in the dark.
The movie began with the author of "Fast Food Nation", Eric Schlosser, eating a hamburger and fries at a diner, saying how this is STILL his favorite meal... ugh. Well, at that point I realized this piece would not be about getting people to NOT eat meat. This is okay, though-because it was about people making an informed choice about the food they take in to their bodies. Most people don't know, or don't care, about what it takes to get "their" food on their plates.
I really hope this helps in changing things...
