Food Inc. message still resonates

My pre-ordered copy of the DVD ‘Food Inc’ - Eric Shlosser and Michael Pollan’s powerful indictment of the factory farmed, laboratory concocted horror generally regarded as ‘food’ in America came today. Natacha hadn’t seen it and is still sitting out there watching in disgust.

Like so much else in America, our food has been hijacked by mega corporations and the cost in health, human dignity, animal health, and our environment is horrifying.

I urge your to order your copy and invite your neighbors, relatives and co-workers to watch. It’s a tough films to watch, but it just might change enough minds to change the way we eat, farm, and treat our workers, our animals, our health and our environment.

Food, Inc. coming to theatres on June 12. You'll never look at food the same way again.

It’s time for Americans to take their food back from the corporations, nutritionistas and - to a lesser extent, the government. Get it out of the factory farm mode. Back to sustainable models of real food - the food that fed our grandparents, without the fake, the toxic, the dangerous and the deadly. Let’s shed the weight and related health problems by shedding the fake diets, learning to eat good food in modest quantities, while incorporating a reasonable amount of exercise into each day.

Please go to see Food, Inc. when it opens on June 12, and if you have the time, read “The Eaters Manifesto” by Michael Pollan.
