Behind the food we love: secrets that giant food companies don't want you to know.
Americans have a longstanding love affair with food - the
modern supermarket has, on average, 47,000 products. But do we
really know what goes into making the products we so eagerly
consume? David Brancaccio talks with Robert Kenner, director of the
Oscar-nominated documentary "Food, Inc.," airing on PBS'
POV on April 21, which takes a hard look
at the secretive and surprising journey food takes on the way from
processing plants to our dinner tables. The two discuss why
contemporary food processing secrets are so closely guarded, their
impact on our health and another surprising fact: how consumers are
actually empowered to make a difference.
