Food, INC.

Finally saw this last night.
I'm sure you know about this already... Here's a short synopsis:
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. 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. --- Foodincmovie.com

Nothing new to us, really.
But I thought the way this documentary was produced interesting and engaging.
It was worth it for us (Mikey-Ike, Bret and I).

I'm glad that we are part of those minute people who are active in bettering our planet.
