Food, Inc. 2

Food, Inc. 2 (2024) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo return sixteen years after the original — alongside Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation — to check whether American industrial food got safer, more humane, or just bigger and more opaque.

The answer is mostly the latter. Corporate consolidation in meat, grain, and retail has deepened, supply chains snapped during the pandemic, and the farmworkers who kept shelves stocked through it all still lack basic protections. Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, along with researchers Marion Nestle and Carlos Monteiro, walk through why the first film's warnings went largely unheeded. The tagline is "Back for seconds" — the more honest framing is that the sequel finds the original's predictions aging badly in exactly the wrong direction.
