You’ll Never Look At Dinner The Same

What if we had food that gave us more energy, made s feel better, and we weren’t sick as much? This is a quote from the recently released movie Food Inc. and this movie has me very excited. With the trailer it is cited that using the turn around of the tobacco industry is a prefect example for how the people can demand better quality food. I had never thought of it that way, but they are exactly right.

Taken from the movie’s website: Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Keep it green,
