Lana told us about Food, Inc. waaaayy back and forever ago.  She went to see it in the limited showing here in Houston.  All raves and great information.  It’s been a little while.

We didn’t make time at the time to see it and instead picked up the various books associated with it…The Omnivores Dilemma and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, and Food, Inc. the book.  The movie, while a fantastic and eye opening production, isn’t able to include everything that needs to be said.  What is is is a start for anyone who is interested in their health, health issues and what we are doing to contribute to our own problems.

With a step into politics here that will not be discussed in comments, the very same folks who make us sick, do not control the system but contribute to our populations ills, and accept dollars from the companies to keep us medicated are the ones now “fixing” the system from the back end.  The solutions to the majority of ills in this country are not found in  figurative band-aids (medications and insurance controls) applied after the fact but in fixing our food supply system at the front end.  Quality beats quantity over and over and over.  Less more expensive food is better than more cheap food.  Always.

If you haven’t seen Food, Inc you should.  Rent it, buy it, borrow it.  Yes, we made the kids watch it with us.  It’s that important.
