Ok....Sunday will mark my 10th Anniversary Party that I host each year and I am very excited, so this afternoon I sat myself down to another Oscar flick. I chose Food, INC. .....and WOW. Now granted it is a US production and affects a lot of their laws and government, I WILL LOOK AT HOW I EAT and FEED my Family differently. Please...go and rent this movie. This is not a great movie to watch but a MUST SEE.
Our society is eating FASTER FATTER BIGGER AND CHEAPER! This movie is another great reality check about our society's eating habits like SUPER SIZE ME.
To get the whole picture, see the movie, but here are some of the important points:
Food Inc may not change the way you eat, but it will remind you that what you eat, be it a cheeseburger from a fast food restaurant or a tomato from the grocery, is produced through a process that is massive and beyond our wildest imaginations. A process that ranges from the farmer to the corporation to a political and judicial system that is designed to favor the status quo. While this is not a spoiler in any way, the film does end on a positive note during its closing credits: a written message appears on the screen to remind us that with every bite we eat, we are having a say in what it is we eat and how its produced. -Box office reviews.
After the movie, all the big burger commercials on regular NON Olympic broadcast TV made my husbands' and my stomach turn.......
Yours in health,
