Last night, I was invited to a special showing of the movie “Food, Inc.”. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it!
This film is a documentary; highlighting and exposing the ugly truth about how our food is grown and processed. Do you really think that the meat you eat is safe and comes from animals frolicking among pastures? Think again. What is happening to the small, independent farmers who are trying to make a living…they are getting bought up and put out of business by huge food conglomerates. Unfortunately, even some of the organic food companies are owned by huge corporations. And of course, our governmental agencies like the FDA and USDA are in there helping to perpetuate this problem. Not only are animals being horribly abused, but so are the workers that work for these companies.
I believe this film should be seen by every person on this planet. It is absolutely imperative to educate yourself about what you are putting into your body everyday and where that item comes from and how it is made/grown and processed. Then, you can make a decision as to what food to choose to eat and whether or not that food is going to be beneficial to you and your family, your health, and of course, the health of this planet.
Amazon is running a special on this film….you can even download to your computer and watch it right away! No need to wait on shipping. Please watch with your family; even young children are capable of understanding and helping to make changes within your household.
Remember that your health should be your most valued and prized possession. As a society, it is up to each one of us to take care of ourselves, be responsible about our mind and body so that we are each high functioning and healthy. Take the time to watch this film so that you are an informed consumer.
