Food, Inc.

Food, Inc. is a beautifully made, though-provoking movie about the food production industry.

This is no Micheal-Moore schlock-fest. It's a highly polished review of some of the atrocities committed by the people that make our food. And by the "people who make our food", I'm not talking about the hard-working farmers, low-wage workers and illegal immigrants that actually make our food, but the four to six powerful corporations that have those workers, our government, and us securely under their thumbs.

It's definitely an important movie, one that every American should see. And don't worry: it's not all doom-and-gloom. Although it presents us with (yet another) shocking and disheartening issue to worry about, it also shows us the solution.

Simply by choosing organic, natural foods more often, we can send a clear message to the food industry, and eat healthier, yummier food in the process! What's to lose? The only downside I can see is that organic food usually costs more. But consider this: for every 25 cents that you pay extra now, you're probably saving yourself thousands on future healthcare and prescription drugs to combat the damage that you are doing to your body by eating non-organic food!
