Food Inc. Is OUT!!
July 25th, 2009
I had the great privilege of seeing Food Inc. at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor last night. It was even better than anticipated. And by better I mean infuriating!
How is it possible that the people meant to oversee and regulate our food system are all former executives of the largest food corporations in America? How is it that workers who risk their lives to make your holiday ham are arrested and deported without any repercussions for the companies who recruited them from Mexico and bused them here? And how is it that a head of broccoli is more expensive than a bag of chips!??
We need change and we need it bad.
But, even with all the disappointing facts in the film, they don’t leave you feeling like you can’t help. The greatest thing they point out is that we vote three times a day. Every meal we have is an opportunity to tell food manufacturers that we don’t want steroid injected, chemically drenched food-like substances in our supermarkets.
No, we want our food the way God created it; nutritionally dense, properly fed and grown whole foods that build the health of our nation.
Vote local. Vote Real. Vote With Every Meal…And Start Today!
