Yesterday the kids and I watched Food, Inc.
Of course I had to watch this because my food geru Michael Pollan was in it.
That is one knowledgeable guy.
I highly recommend that you watch this film.
My kids proclaimed afterwards, "I am never eating at a fast food restaurant again!".
This was much more convincing than Supersize Me.
My 10 year old son said, "Mom, I never really knew what you were talking about before when you said that so much of the food we eat is bad for us. Now I believe you."
How is that for indoctrination?
The film does have somewhat of a liberal bent so I do not necessarily agree with all the suggested solutions. But I am all for truth no matter where it is coming from.
I kept wanting the film to go into more detail but it is only an hour and half long. But if you haven't read much on the subject, it is a good introduction to what is going on with food in this country.
And it might just make you want to change the way you eat.
Which is probably a good thing.
*I love the review of Food, Inc. that you can read here. I am watching Fresh next week.
