Food, Inc.



On Friday a new film was released, "Food, Inc."

This expose' on the US food industry reveals a highly mechanized conspiracy between a handful of corporations and our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. At risk is American consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and the Earth's environment. In exchange for mega-chicken breasts, boneless meats, insecticide-resistant soybeans, and tomatoes that last forever, we have new strains of E. coli, widespread obesity, and an epidemic of diabetes.

While distribution in this area is thin (the best shot right now is Nickelodeon Cinema 5 in North Falmouth, on July 10),this film should be seen - even if one has to wait for Netflix to pick it up.

Be sure to keep it in mind, and
post here
if you happen to find it playing anywhere nearby in the immediate future.
