I just watched a great documentary, Food Inc. that changed the way I look at food. Has anybody else seen this?

    It is my favorite movie ever! I think anyone who eats food should have to watch that. I will never eat Tyson (or non-organic for that matter) chicken ever again. My freshman year in college I had an entire writing class based on that movie. I loved it!

    Yes it is a good! You should watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dying. You would probably like it! And Forks OVer Knives!

    It changed my mind completely as well! With having food allergies I started to avoid processed foods overall but this movie really pushed me to make it EVERYTHING I eat. I will only eat out at certain places now and Only purchase organic meats now for my home. This movie has really educated me in things I didn't know about the food industry, more so than the horrible things I already knew!

    Yes Food Inc. is a very good movie.

    Somewhat along those same lines, but much less sugar coated for popularity, is the documentary Earthlings with Joaquin Phoenix.

    This documentary is a tough pill to swallow...but that is why its so important to watch.

    I'll probably never be a vegetarian.

    The main point of Food, Inc is not mistreatment of animals, but rather mistreatment of human beings. The filmmaker eats a huge burger at the beginning of the film, and states that it is his favorite food.

    I felt that the rancher who produced meat outside of the industrial system was doing a very noble thing.

    I watched it recently and was amazed!
    Another good watch is "Big Fat Fiasco" on youtube in 5 very short parts. It changed the way I thought about food. :)

    Wife and I are buying all of our veggies and fruit at a Farmer's Market this weekend.
