Food, Inc. (2009)
HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD YOU BUY AT LOCAL SUPERMARKETS?
Other than the “hunter-gatherers” of long ago, all human societies produce food. What characterizes our industrialized food system?
Did you know that the average food product travels about 1,500 miles to get to your grocery store? And that transporting food accounts for 30,800 tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year – just one cost of the industrialized food production system basic to contemporary life in the United States? ”We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E.coli, the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.”
Come see Food, Inc. – expose’ of what we eat and how it is produced and who benefits. (94 minutes.)
