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.

Bill Maher Interviews Michael Pollan about film, Food Inc.

Michael Pollan is one of today’s sharpest commentators answering the questions we should all be asking about where our food comes from, and the real price we’re paying for it in terms of our health and the health of the planet. I’m really looking forward to Food, Inc., in which Eric Schlosser ( Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) both star.

A more serious discussion with Michael Pollan appeared last year on Bill Moyers Journal.

HBO is kindly blocking all these videos …. hmmmm. So please go searching and let me know if you can find one that hasn’t been blocked.

Thanks, Early … but that one has been blocked, too.
