FOOD, INC.

Remember on March 1st when I posted about the movie Food, Inc.? Well, it's coming on tonight on PBS. Set your DVRs. It's a MUST SEE!

Here is more about the movie.

HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD WE BUY AT OUR LOCAL SUPER MARKETS?
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.

Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.

We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Watch the trailer...



sorry the video is kinda cut off
