Food, Inc. décortique les rouages d'une industrie qui altère chaque jour notre environnement et notre santé. Des immenses champs de maïs aux rayons colorés des supermarchés, en passant par des abattoirs insalubres, un journaliste mène l'enquête pour savoir comment est fabriqué ce que nous mettons dans nos assiettes. Derrière les étiquettes pastorales de "produits fermiers", il découvre avec beaucoup de difficulté le tableau bien peu bucolique que les lobbys agro-alimentaires tentent de cacher : conditions d'élevage et d'abattage du bétail désastreuses, collusion entre les industriels et les institutions de régulation, absence de scrupules environnementaux, scandales sanitaires... Éleveurs désespérés, experts indépendants, entrepreneurs intègres et défenseurs du droit des consommateurs esquissent, chacun à leur manière, le portrait d'une industrie qui sacrifie la qualité des produits et la santé de ses clients sur l'autel du rendement.

Although evidence of meat consumption's negative impact on the planet and on human health continue stacking up as animal welfare is on the decline, humanity's love affair with hamburgers, steaks, nuggets and chops just doesn't end. In The End of Meat, filmmaker Marc Pierschel embarks on a journey to discover what effect a post-meat world would have on the environment, the animals and ourselves. He meets Esther the Wonder Pig, who became an internet phenomenon; talks to pioneers leading the vegan movement in Germany; visits the first fully vegetarian city in India; witnesses rescued farm animals enjoying their newly found freedom; observes the future food innovators making meat and dairy without the animals, even harvesting "bacon" from the ocean and much more. The End of Meat reveals the hidden impact of meat consumption; explores the opportunities and benefits of a shift to a more compassionate diet; and raises critical questions about the future role of animals in our society.
Co-directors Hubert Caron-Guay and Serge-Olivier Rondeau follow migrant workers through the steps in the hiring process of a community-based employment assistance organization.

It draws parallels between the changing of the seasons and the cycle of the cattle industry that begins with animals being raised and cared for at a ranch and ends with them being sent to the abattoir grimly looming in the background. Ressources is a sobering and thought-provoking work that gives a voice to those who are at the heart of the food system that sustains this country.
