We may not be paying a lot for food nowadays, but we'll be paying later. That's the message from the producer of the new documentary Food, Inc.
 
"We buy this inexpensive food, but it's a false price we are paying," says Robert Kenner, who also directed the film. 
 
"The parallel with tobacco is such a strong one – powerful corporations, connected to government, keeping the health consequences of their product away from you," he adds. "They're designing these foods with massive amounts of sugars and salts and fats that we are genetically predisposed to eat. Put it all in a glass and you'd be shocked to see how much you are eating. It's going to bankrupt health care systems, and ultimately our Earth."
