The failure of Food, Inc.

I was pretty disappointed in the documentary 'Food Inc.'. In fact, I have a hard time believing anyone can be a fan of a film that champions a woman who makes her living torturing chickens as well as trying to make us feel sorry for the plight of illegal alien slaughterhouse workers. The most incredulous part is the 'intellectural cowboy' talking on-camera like a seasoned politician while chickens are being killed ten feet behind him. And, to top it off, the film's end titles urge us to be sure we 'treat animals with respect'. I guess that only includes dogs and cats...
