The Future of Food billed itself as “an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery shelves for the past decade.” Negatively impacted farmers naturally proffered their take on the situation, and the movie went on to elaborate health implications stemming from genetically altered crops in the food supply.
Then, of course, there was Super Size Me, the documentary that chronicled filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's month-long, thrice-a-day McDonald's diet. The Oscar-nominated film purported to show the mental and physical effects of a regimen consisting of nothing but the fast food giant's fare. Good Burger, it was not.
