Description

Inspired by the incendiary New York Times bestseller that exposed the hidden facts behind America's fast food industry, Fast Food Nation combines an all-star ensemble cast lead by Greg Kinnear, Wilmer Valderrama and Avril Lavigne with riveting, interlocked human stories to serve up a firecracker of a movie that jumps off the screen. When a marketing executive (Kinnear) for the Mickey's burger chain is told there's a nasty secret ingredient in his latest culinary creation The Big One, he heads for the ranches and slaughterhouses of Colorado to investigate... but discovers the truth a bit difficult to swallow.

    This movie could have been so so so much better. I felt like I watched a porn instead of a movie with a good message. I am for the small, organic, family farmer. I eat real foods rather than processed foods. I desire to be healthy and expose the sins of large corporations. This movie was more about sex than any health agenda. Sad. I recommend you rent FOOD INC., KILLER AT LARGE, KING CORN, etc...

    okay, so this movie possibly has changed my life forever. having given up fast food since i was 7 (i was a very willful child) and have stayed that way for 11 years, its not about being healthy. no, this movie has made me look at the submission we give everyday to people who dont deserve it. our country was built on the idea of freedom; lies and propaganda were not part of that freedom. we should try and change this, and i know it wont happen overnight, but ill drink to trying.

    "firecracker of a movie that jumps off the screen"??? Whoever wrote that must not have actually watched the movie. Slow moving, trite, stereotypical, predictable, poor acting. Don't waste your money, no matter how close a friend of PETA you may be. I'm sorry I bought it. It's already in my trash bin. Don't even rent it -- not worth it.

    This film is a fictional account of the fast food/meat packing industry with various undertones of Anti "Big Business" and "The man is holding us down." It was difficult to watch. I don't really recommend purchasing this video even though it was on a 4.99 special. I guess it was there for a reason.
  • Another great Participant film

    I AM A BEEF EATER. I love hamburgers, prime rib, ribeye steak and filet mignon. I can't imagine not ever eating red meat. After watching this film however, I can see why people choose to become vegetarian or vegan. Although a previous reviewer commented that the film has nothing to do with fast food, I disagree. The fast food industry makes a lot of money. This film provides us with a glimpse into what makes that industry "successful." Fast food burger chains' main product is unsurprisingly cheap beef. The film informs audiences, to some degree, exactly how that beef is cheap, which includes: - the treatment of cattle - the food fed to cattle - the frightening process in which cattle is turned into beef - the less-than preferred standards of cleanliness in meat packaging plants - and unfair labor practices These are all the things that we do not even think about when we buy our burgers, but are parts of the process in providing us with our $1.99 burgers. All this was provided with an inspirational message to youth as well. Be yourself and make a difference. This is definitely worth the purchase and it is a steal if you get it for $4.99
