SEE THIS FILM!!!
The Netflix envelope that arrived yesterday carried more than a plastic DVD, it carried a renewed sense of hope and a spark that reignited my passion. I can’t say I learned anything from Food Inc. because it is sort of a Reader’s Digest version of the best books on food production the last 5 years. That said, this is a MUST-SEE MOVIE that stands to put ample information in the hands of everyday people. It puts responsibility squarely where it belongs, in our own hands.
EVERY penny that we spend on anything edible is a vote, the only real voice we have left. We don’t have to quit our jobs and join the few, poorly funded, tenacious bulldogs that advocate for change in food standards at the national level. No need to feel stomped down by “the Man” that runs the corporate food machines which have all but replaced the farmers of the world. Feelings of being taken, deceived, and even poisoned will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem is our choices on what food we are willing to pay for. Each one of us have a bank account full of sweet nothings that “the Man” undoubtedly hopes we will whisper into their corporate coffers. If you really want to be heard, if you really want to make a change, limit your spending on food to produce and products that are in alignment with your health, the health of your environment, and with your beliefs about how the humans who grow, process and transport what you eat deserve to be treated.
