If we are what we eat, there's not a lot of hope for us, according to Robert Kenner's formidable documentary.
Made in America, it tells how most of the food we consume is produced by a small number of giant corporations whose methods are unfair to both farmers and animals and introduce deadly bacteria into the food chain.
The result is a flood of cheap and often unhealthy food, and huge profits for big business and its powerful lobbyists.
We have it in our own hands to change this, Kenner says - but it is obvious that the poorer you are, the less this is so.
By the end, you feel you've been very close to a nightmare but one that's actually coming true.
