Just watched this movie through the instant play feature on Netflix. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Watch all of it. Even the most difficult parts to watch. This is life. This is what we eat. We eat industry. We don't consume real food. At least most of us do not. Buy free range if you are going to eat meat. Buy organic if you eat fresh veggies whenever possible. To not do so is to condemn the next generation of Americans to health problems that have yet to be discovered. Who knows what cloned meat and genetically mutated soybeans will cause human bodies to do in twenty or thirty years? Do we really want to sit around, do nothing and wait to find out? Do not let American apathy become the catalyst for the food industry big wigs to sicken our country any longer. Grow a garden. Go to the farmer's markets. Eat local when possible. Join a co-op and have locally grown, organic veggies delivered to you. This film is a huge eye-opener and should be required viewing in all schools and at PTA meetings. My opinion of course. But I refuse to kill myself slowly any longer. Even if I have to get a second job to pay for the better food, I will no longer fill my system with this junk.
Watch it. You can thank me in a month or two when you have been eating organic and such and you feel ten years younger and have shed a few pounds.
Sorry for the rant, but I am ANGRY!!! Be well and may your families be well. Good night friends.

I haven't watched it yet, but I want to. And also don't want to, as I'm sure I will be thoroughly sickened. All that aside, I highly recommend Brookview Farms out in Goochland. They sell 100% organic, grass-fed beef (in every cut you can imagine), along with free-range chicken and pork products. And honestly, it's no more expensive than buying at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteThey are so friendly there, it's a family operation, and the beef is truly delicious. We've been regular customers now for about a half a year, and I've never been disappointed!
Have you signed up for a CSA yet? Go to localharvest.org to find one near you. Organic, local, and cheap! Also check out the book Twinkie, Deconstructed for a good food read- not all of the strange sounding things are unnatural. This blog is inspiring!
