anyone seen FOOD Inc ??

I got the DVD coming in tomorrow, but before I watch it I'm wondering if buying meat from the butcher is better than the supermarket and products like Tyson and Perdue, is it?

Yeah I'm serious, I was oblivious to it.

Even though i knew it was happening i was blown away by the scale of the operations shown in the actual footage.

It depends what the source is same way. I would imagine to compete with large chains a lot places will have to settle for cheap produce, which generally speaking would be pretty much the same commercially farmed trash. If meat is free range, organic, halal etc it is usually labelled accordingly, whether it be from the supermarket, butchers, farmers market etc. If its not labelled then you have to ask the question and trust they're telling you the truth.

I didn't think Supersize Me was all that great. It's basically common knowledge that fastfood is terrible for you.
