“FOOD, INC.” DOCUMENTARY IS NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD
If you’re a reader of this blog, you are no doubt aware of how off-track is the American food industry. It produces abundant, apparently cheap food, but the hidden costs are high. It treats animals like objects, degrades the environment, eats up huge government subsidies, and directly contributes to health care costs which will bankrupt the country if something doesn’t change. Needless to say, it’s a system which makes huge profits for a handful of corporations. Even if you are well-informed already, see this disturbing, informative and inspiring documentary and get fired up all over again. If you saw “Food, Inc.” in a theater, buy the recently released DVD and share it with family and friends. Having grown up on a family farm, I empathize with the often unsavory choices farmers feel forced to make, and this is a topic I promise to return to often. Find out more about “Food, Inc.” or watch the trailer here.

I was surprised when my movie-mate immediately criticized “Food, Inc.” before we even left the theater. But you know the circles I travel in! Mary thought the movie was too easy on agribusiness. Maybe she has a point.
