Food Inc. Don’t Take Another Bite Until You See This Movie! Author of Fast Food Nation. McDonald’s Burger King aren’t your only concerns anymore!

So last week I told you about Food, Inc. a movie coming out by Robert Kenner in this post. Here is what we have to say now that we saw this praiseworthy film.

Seriously, don’t take another bite until you see this movie. It’s a horror- flick! Like I always do, when I see a scary movie, whenever I get scared, I comfort myself by saying it’s not real, it’s just a movie. Here though, the stories are true, the interviews with the farmers are with real people.  You will be horrified by what you thought was healthy eating. And it’s not like in Fast Food Nation where you could write it off by saying to yourself that you don’t eat at McDonald’s or Burger King. The point though isn’t to horrify you or use scare tactics, rather it’s just trying to show everyone what’s going on. It’s mind-blowing to me what I’ve been going on eating, munching and crunching, blissfully believing the government was effectively regulating.

After this flick this girl is going organic in every possible way I can. I’m not going to go overboard and not eat out, etc. but wherever I can make an effort to, I will. I think that any Smartypanty will see this movie. Your health is important. The meat you are putting in your body becomes part of you. Educate yourself and make a conscious decision to help change the system. It’s as easy as just buying organic. Do you know that Wal-Mart, WAL-MART people, has started carrying organic products? This is a huge step in making organic (aka healthier, uncontaminated, etc.) foods available to the masses and not just those of us who can afford to spend our Whole paycheck at Whole Foods (sorry whole foods we love you but you’re not practical for everyone).

Little things you can do to make a BIG difference to help us get healthier foods for everyone! Whatever we buy the most of gets cheaper and cheaper. So buy the good stuff!
