I found this movie very interesting but very disturbing. I didn't read the book so I'm not sure how it compares but I think this is worth watching. I get the impression that the book is more of a "tell all" regarding the fast food industry. The movie gets some points across regarding the industry but I think the actual story is all fiction. It didn't tell me anything that I didn't know regarding the meat and/or fast food industry but seeing it on film was truly disgusting and very sad.

Synopsis by Netflix: Richard Linklater's fictional tale (inspired by Eric Schlosser's 2001 book of the same name) critiques the junk-food juggernaut that's arguably responsible for America's alarming obesity rates. Don Henderson (Greg Kinnear), a corporate exec of a national fast-food chain, follows beef's journey from the corrals to the slaughterhouses and ultimately to your stomach. The power cast includes Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Bruce Willis.
