Food, Inc.

Over the summer a truly excellent film came out, Food, Inc. Having just recently re watched it I decided to do write about it a little.

Food, Inc. uncovers and talks about what is going on in the American food industry today. It discusses the impact that mass meat, corn and soybean production has on our health, our planet, and our humanity. It sheds light on a subject that many Americans are relatively unfamiliar with. And although the situation may seem grim at the moment, the film also shows that there is hope to turn things around. To stray away from the "American Diet" which consists of fast food, fats, salts, and sugar; to embrace the slow food movement and return to real food.

I strongly believe that everyone in America should see this movie. Americans owe it to themselves to educate themselves about the food crisis we are currently in. So if you are reading this, please do yourself a favor and go watch this movie. It will change the way you view the mainstream food of today.


A votre santé.
