Customer Rating: 

This book and the movie that goes with it are awesome. Everyone should be growing and eating their own food to the extent possible to them. They should be buying from local farmers who use sustainable, chemical free methods.

Peter Pringle has written a book that covers the debate over GMOs as thoroughly as any could. Food, Inc., looks at all sides of a very complex sociopolitical issue and provides an amazing platform for further examination of the subject--sort of a GMOs 101. For anyone who doesn't know much of anything on the subject and has an interest, you MUST read this book!!

I second those people who found this book to be a bit TOO concise. In failing to offer important details about issues like Dr. Pusztai's experiments, or the L-triptophan contamination (in this case, the author even gives out the wrong information that more than one brand was involved), the book may be at times misleading.
On the other hand, it is fairly unbiased. But in the sense that it shows how both sides on this issue have gone a little overboard in their efforts, by exaggerating their claims.
Anyway, it's worth reading if you have some previous knowledge about the issue and want to refresh your mind on the most relevant events.

I recommend it highly to anyone interested in reading about biotechnology and the food we eat

I am often frustrated by the bias nature of these books, I was very impressed by the authors work. Having a science background and working in the biotech arena, I appreciated the factual information that did not seem to promote the anit-GE view that much of the literature in the area does (like I said, a very balanced report). It is written at a level that most people will be able to understand and is very entertaining. This book is great no matter what side of the debate you stand on and I highly recomend it .
