Food Inc

If you haven't watched this yet, I highly reccomend that you do.  Directed by Robert Kenner and in collaboration with Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" and most recently "Food Rules" this documentary touches on everything from the seeds we grow our veggies with to the slab of meat on your plate. 

You might have seen Michael Pollan on Oprah a little while back discussing the various foods we should avoid and those we shoudl reach for instead. (Mainly and most obviously those with ingredients we can pronounce).  Anyways below is the trailer, it gives me goosebumps even though I've already saw a while ago! Also if you're interested in more documentaries such as this one, King Corn is pretty good as well. It's focus is duhhh on corn and how's it's in everything. Curtis and I  finally got around to watching it last week and it was really interesting.  

And finally in case documentaries aren't your thang, there's a movie based on the book Fast Food Nation, with Greg Kinnear and Wilmer Valderrama. We haven't seen it so I can't tell you much about it but I'm sure the message is similar and equally disturbing. (trailer on youtube).
