To learn more about Food, Inc., listen to NPR's Steve Inskeep interview director Robert Kenner and food author Michael Pollan.
They argue that huge agro-conglomerates with powerful lobbying resources "deliberately" hide the "truth" about what we eat; that the food they shill hurts us and the environment; that they
- Market food to hide how they "manufacture" it
- Abuse animals, genetically alter crops, and mistreat workers
- Threaten the safety of the food chain
None of this is really news, but relatively few are either aware of or care about it. Hopefully Food, Inc.'s release will highlight this catastrophe in process.
Eat local. Eat organic. Eat vegan.
Shabbat shalom. Good shabbos.
