November 22, 2009It was really well made but I think this movie was more of a propaganda push by the organic farmers of america.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Trading on now-familiar gross-out tactics (images of corporate slaughterhouses and chicken sheds), the movie offers very little that food radicals don't already know. full review
