Seeing what certain foods do to our bodies is unsettling — Supersize Me proves it. Food, Inc. takes this a step further by documenting the farms that grow our food and the restaurants and stores that sell it (with a few disturbing shots of animal processing plants along the way). It might sound unappealing, but if all aspects of the U.S. food chain fascinate you, watch Food, Inc. the next time you're hungry for entertainment.

If you love A Time to Kill, watch 13th.

If you love The Queen, watch The Royal House of Windsor.
