After watching Food Inc, I highly agree with the ideas the movie is pushing. A few of the people in the movie were right when they said "we need to change our behavior behind the way we live. Making simple choices like buying local, fair trade and organic foods help the environment and keep us healthy". I fully understand organic and/or grass fed meat costs more money but is that extra $1.50 worth risking the health of our planet and body? Because the food I eat deeply affects my physical and emotional body, I choose fresh and organic foods whenever I can. I think of it as investing in my own future. Before I saw this movie, I had no clue that the food on the kitchen table traveled an average of 1500 miles. I could not and would not want to calculate how much gas it took to get to the store then to my table.
I would recommend this movie to a friend because it open your mind to new ideas. I would tell them that this movie is as real as it gets. The processed food industry affects humans, animals, plants, and the environment on so many levels.
I agree with you about this movie, after watching this movie, I changed the way I eat today. I also check the ingredients of what I eat .
ReplyDeleteThe toll on the planet alone just from the amount of transportation needed to get products to our plates is enough to make the switch to more organically grown foods. This documentary was a big eye opener to be sure. I think if alot more people were willing to spend the extra 1.50 we would have a much healthier people and planet.
ReplyDeleteI am all about buying local since this film. Im a little afraid of fast food now
ReplyDeleteThe mindset you use when you purchase food seems very beneficial when considering the extra cost. I'll have to try thinking that way from now on.
