Hungry For Change?




















I find that I do not shop in regular supermarkets. There are on the surface reasons and then subconsciously I tend to steer away. Why do you ask? Well I pondered my subconscious and my thoughts came out to be; All of this food and all of this variety overwhelms me and at the end of the day all of this variety looks exactly the same. Everything is the same and it is all going to have the same effect on my body, and I am not talking positive. Watching Food Inc. completely validated my already present thoughts. No I am not crazy and not snobby for not wanting to decide between Wheat Thins and Cheez Its, because I don't want either and they are both going to do the same thing to my digestive system and effect my overall health in the same way. Give me some triple cream cheese and call it a day. I not only recommend going to see Food Inc., I demand it. Nothing will be shoved down your throat, this is not a "born again" type documentary. These are facts. Facts about what is going on in our economy, our farms, our world. With some insight into what is presumably detrimental to our future as human, the film also spotlights people doing it right. Raising animals the way they naturally are supposed to be raised, and at the end of the day being the most efficient about the whole process. Repercussions are inefficient people. Don't get me wrong you can be taller faster better stronger, but if it comes at the cost of environmental damage, lawsuits and the like, you don't win.

I found out last night that there was going to be a free screening of Food, Inc. in Houston---today (7/15)!
Of course, I just HAVE to watch this, even if I must go later and pay. The guys (Schlosser & Pollan) really make a person think about their food.
