Food Inc.

One word: disturbing.

Monsanto,  lame cows being pushed by forklifts, the fact that 90% of the food offerings in a standard grocery store contain gmos, a child dead from eating a fast food hamburger, head honchos in the food industry being appointed to positions of power -within the government- so as to further their evil, one-track agenda to control the American food system: with a list like this it's difficult to choose the most disturbing imagery or message from the film. 

This movie makes me want to eat purely vegan and organic. Unfortunately, at present, that is not a possibility financially.  I do plan on taking steps towards both.  Naively, I thought that my daily sugar fix (of a chocolate bar and a Coke) weren't contributing to the problem. Wrong! I felt that soy-based products purchased from my local "health" food store weren't contributing to the problem. Wrong! I believed buying produce from America, as opposed to Mexico or other Latin American countries, where DDT is still allowed was safer. Wrong!  Food Inc. set the record straight. It's time for me (and America) to be part of the solution, not the problem.
