I just watched it, it was very interesting! Really makes you think about what happens to your food before you get to eat it!

If you haven't heard of it, check it out... http://www.foodincmovie.com/

    I literally JUST finished watching this!!! I thought it was brilliant and disturbing (in a good way that makes you really think). I am definitely adjusting my shopping habits after watching it!

    I've had it sitting on my DVD player for over a month now. Need to find time for it.

    I couldn't stand to watch those poor chickens who were too fat to walk, or those sad looking cows.

    I saw at my local indie theatre a month or two ago. I was really impressed with the quality and fairness of the film. It is really disturbing to see what has happened to the food industry in America.

    I think this is a film that EVERYBODY should go watch. It may not change the way some people view their food, but I do have a feeling it would educate a lot of people. As one of the farmers interviewed said, America likes bigger and faster and when they start demanding purer and healthier, that's what the farmers will produce again. And don't even get me started on the soybean company. How insane that you can patent a bean! It is such an outrage.

    I hope people see this film and start making small steps to demand a healthier food product. I try to buy organic as much as possible, and everytime I do I know my money is talking.

    Please see the film if you haven't already!

    I didn't understand what that was all about, can you explain it to me?

    It was good that the farmers said that too, if you start buying more organic and locally grown food, the farmers will produce it! I thought it was cool that that female chicken farmer wouldn't bow down to Perdue and provide a mess humane environment, but it sucks that she then lost that contract. It was really eye opening about how the companies run the farmers.

    I liked when they guy from the Stonyfield company said that every time you buy something, you are casting a vote. Basically, if you buy junk, they'll supply junk. If you buy healthy, organic, locally grown food, then that's what they'll supply.
