Seems like there's a legit point or at least a sound theory behind this film, but the whole scare factor is a major turn off. I watch something like that and wonder if they're trying to tell me facts or if I'm watching a fictional horror movie meant to scare me.
No there's not. All this movie is about is another typical Anti-corporate fear mongering smear job of free-markets. Bottom line is this Earth doesn't sustain billions of people if we don't have industrial factories, corporate farms providing us with the economies of scale needed to ensure the breath and depth of our diet at an affordable price(and even then many people would argue its affordability). Sometimes the Lowest common denominator factor rears its ugly head(Maple Leaf foods, et al), but there's no way the entire world we can live like vegan Vancouverites only eating organics from local producers unless we offed 5 billion people.
