"Food, Inc." is the documentary du jour: an elegantly crafted investigation of U.S. government food policies and a hard look at agri-business giants. Most disturbing is footage shot in cattle slaughter houses, chicken farms and the terrible killing floor for pigs. Echo Park's Brite Spot has an early cameo: writer Eric Schlosser is interviewed at the counter and served up a very appetizing looking cheeseburger and fries. Eat before the movie; that cheeseburger will lose its appeal but you'll learn the hard truth about America's food chain.

I forgot about the Echo Park angle. The director's son lives in the area. Good catch.
