Food, Inc.,The Movie Comes To Market — It’s Your Time to Vote with What You Choose to Eat

Robert Kenner’s much awaited movie, Food, Inc.  hit the market last week on June 12, and has garnered tremendous attention.  The movie is designed to be an exposé of the U.S. food industry.  In a nutshell, its view is that a handful of mega corporations in the U.S. are putting profits ahead of consumer health.  You will see interviews with well known authors and journalists, Eric Schlosser (Author, Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (Author, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto).

Here is a link to the film’s trailer: http://www.foodincmovie.com/trailer-and-photos.php

Feel free to write me back with your comments or thoughts on the movie, if any.

Here is my one thought on why this movie is important:  We are deluged with chronic diseases in the United States, and I believe that some of the most difficult questions of our time (such as, Why are we sick?) cannot be answered without considering the food we eat and the way we produce it.  From that perspective, this movie sheds light on an issue that is crucially important for all of us.

This is a must see documentary, and one that might just make you want to think twice before deciding on what to eat for your next meal!  And, I might add that the majority of us need to do just that.

It’s time to cast your vote with how and what you choose to eat.
