Sooooooooooo I couldn’t resist posting another blog related to food after blogging about buying local. This is most definitely due to the fact that I recently watched Robert Kenner’s MIND BLOWING documentary ‘Food Inc.’ I know several of my friends have told me that they Michael Moore has turned them off from documentaries, but fear not guys, this isn’t a Moore video! Food Inc touches on so many sensitive subjects being tossed around the public sphere these days: questions about the morality of the food industry, reasons why buying local is better, confirming organic, and much more. On top of discussing these important issues, the film includes interviews with the author of ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma’, Michael Pollan, as well as Joel Salatin, owner of Polyface farm in VIRGINIA!!! Check out this website on the documentary, and be sure to watch the trailer for it that I’ve also attached. And remember to please, please, please watch it. You’re diet won’t be the same again!

LOVED this movie…definitely didn’t think the same about food ever again!!! It’s such a scary/shocking movie – I never knew how much bad things that we consume on a regular basis – and how those companies try and market their products as good/healthy. I was also alarmed at how many people who work for the FDA and are lessening food laws are the same people who worked for the large and bad corporations like Perdue!
