very interesting theory, but narrated in a quite -i think too much- straightforward way. i despise the dutch tulip auction center, what a beautiful way to pollute the earth.

A very enjoyable documentary. While I wasn't especially fond of the main narrator, Michael Pollan, who seemed kind of touchy-feely and annoying at times, everyone else had interesting things to say. The visuals were impressive and there was plenty of variety. If you love plants this is a great documentary for you. If you're just looking for another gross-food-industry film, this isn't it.
