You Must See The Film, Food Inc.
If you think educating yourself is a waste of time or if you’d rather just keep your head firmly buried in the sand, then stop reading this now.
Good, you’re still with me. If you care about the food you put into your body and your children’s bodies, then you definitely want to see this critically acclaimed, Academy Award nominated documentary that exposes our industrialized food industry and it’s effects on our health and our environment.
Learn about the wool that’s being pulled over your eyes. Learn about how your food is “grown” or rather “made” and where it comes from. Learn about genetically modified foods. Learn about the devastating and fatal effects food-borne illness can have on humans. Be sure to watch the extras on the DVD as it’s full of more valuable information.
If you think you are but one small person in this big world and can’t possibly make a difference, then you are wrong. You vote on the kinds of foods you believe in, 3 times a day with every meal you eat. You vote every time you shop at the supermarket when each and every product passes by the scanner. Those votes are collected by Nielsen, the global marketing information powerhouse. They then sell that information to big food manufacturers so they can figure out how to market their products. Imagine what would happen if more people started voting for healthier, more organic foods versus junk? It’s already happening…WalMart started selling organic food because of customer demand. And if WalMart is listening, you can bet the other supermarkets are not far behind.
