Director Robert Kenner’s film Food Inc. asserts that there is a veil of secrecy perpetuated by the food industry that separates the consumer from the realities of how food is produced in the United States.
Keener supports his assertion by claiming science has contributed to the way food is produced, giving us engineered food and has negatively changed the way we eat.
The author’s purpose is to inform the audience in order to have the reader know the facts behind the veil of secrecy and know how food is made, that author wants the reader to also respond by demanding that certain safety measures be carried out in order to better protect us.

He also shows us how that if we just blindly accept it they will put our safety as a secondary objective and try to make money first. He shows us that most of our food comes from corn. He also tells us that 90% of supermarket foods have some sort of corn ingredient in them and 30% of land in the U.S. is being used to produce corn.
Larry Johnson, Director of Center for Crops Utilization Research, Iowa State University, says “We are now engineering our food” (Ch. #2) and “The biggest advance in years is High-Fructose corn syrup” (Ch.#2).
This quote proves science has contributed to the way food is produced, giving us engineered food and has negatively changed the way we eat.
In addition, Kenner supports this claim by explaining to us how Industry is making money of of food by growing this faster, fatter, bigger, and cheaper, to sell it at a profit to us the consumers.
