Gordo's Brain!

If you eat, you need to see this movie. The food production reality in North America is nothing close to the myth that the industry spends so much time, effort and money to maintain. It’s all about the allmighty dollar and almost no thought whatsoever is given to nutrition any more.

Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) provide much of the commentary to this look at industrial food production in the US. I’d like to claim that things are different in Canada, but I’d be lying. Factory farms are far more factory than farm and you can imagine the quality of “food” that comes out of them.

It’s an eye opener, to be sure. The solution: vote with your food dollars and support your local farmer. They’re out there, you just have to look. More on that later.
