  An occasionally interesting look at the food industry concerning two guys from Boston journeying to Iowa to plant a crop of corn. What's most impressive about the film is it's ability to derive answers without going Michael Moore finger-pointing style. It does drag from time to time and it lacks a firm, solid resolution, but certainly not a bad documentary at all, but definitely one that could've been more interesting if it had tried to be.

  Any documentary that has stop and go animation with fischer price and corn kernals is a good one in my book. I guess you hear 'high fructose corn syrup' in everything you eat, but I never really thought about what it was. You eat pretty much nothing but corn if you eat… More
  Any documentary that has stop and go animation with fischer price and corn kernals is a good one in my book. I guess you hear 'high fructose corn syrup' in everything you eat, but I never really thought about what it was. You eat pretty much nothing but corn if you eat what most people do. Makes you want to eat hippie food instead, if only it cost less. Yikes.

  The subject is interesting but the execution is lacking.

  I was expecting guerilla journalism, but this delivers a more from the heart and then the head project. I was born in Iowa and have more than a passing understanding of agribusiness and I was still enlightened by some of their information. The directors main characters are two young men from Boston who can both trace their linage to the same town in Iowa. They move there and plant an acre of Corn and they want to trace where there corn ends up. They reach dead-end trying to get a story on corn syrup, so they try and make their own. They have a segment showing the unbelievably wide spread usage of corn syrup. They do an OK job showing the effect of corn fed beef and sick cows. I was surprised at the decrease in nutritional value of Beef the more it is forced to eat grain. The finally segment traces farm subsidies and the effects it has on the modern farmer. The interviews with the "baddies" is handled well, they give them a chance for rebuttal ie "If you want free range cattle we will sell that to you also, but at a higher cost." Enjoyable film would be very enlightening to people who have little experience with agribusiness.
