Recently, a movie known as Food, Inc. came out on video and shed some much needed light on the food industry in this country. The health of the country is only getting worse, and while we think that the low fat/low carb/cabbage soup diet is the answer, we consume more and more processed, packaged, corn/soy based, corn fed, hormone filled, pesticide ridden foods. All of this "food" is very cheap, but as we spend less on what our body uses to operate, it is no wonder our health care cost are so high.

This movie covers a great breadth of information, all of which could be looked into more, but the message is sound: change is needed. Here is the trailer to give you a taste, but I highly recommend renting this movie and seeing how far we have strayed from eating real food.

This movie deals with health, disease, ethical practices (toward the consumer, the workers and the animals), political corruption, and more. It's not all negatives, however, because as they explain, the best hope for change is with the consumer. So please check this out, I hope you like it, and let's work together to promote health for our bodies, our economy, our government, and our planet.
