You Can Change The World With Every Bite


A pre-showing of Food, Inc. came to Atlanta last week. Members if the CDC and Slow Food Atlanta gathered to watch about the corrupt and the drastically changed food system in America. Over the past 60 years America is changing how we eat and what we eat.

The film will be released in June and I feel that everyone needs to see it. It taught me a lot about what is going on in our food system and opened my eyes to current issues.
"Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here."

How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner shows American the corruption and issues in the food system that has been hidden from the average consumer. He goes through the issues and shows American the truth. Including: Why we have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-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. Current companies are not producing chicken-but food....It is a mass production-not farming.

Here you can watch the first three minutes of the film
