Food, Inc.


To say that Food, Inc. is an interesting movie is something of an understatement. It's more akin to distressing, alarming, even a bit horrifying at times.

I had no idea the extent to which the food market in America is controlled by a handful of conglomerates. It's pretty amazing how far removed we are from the sources of our nutrition, and how far from it those conglomerates are as well.

It seems impossible to have a diet that consists exclusively of food grown without hormones, antibiotics, genetic modifications or pesticides (also known as crop protection chemicals in the industry).

When did food get so complicated? As if my emotional eating wasn't complicated enough already. :)
