This just in: Food, Inc. is streaming online in its entirety, now through Thursday 4/29.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, or if you know someone who might like it, jump in now. I’m about to watch it myself.

What, Hun, you of all people haven’t watched Food, Inc?
No, I haven’t watched it, because I hate preachy documentaries that make me feel bad all the time. But everyone I know has seen it and they all say things like “you have to watch this movie, I’ll never look at food the same way again!” Eek. EEK.
However, it does feature my hero, Joel Salatin. If he is brave enough to revolutionize modern farming, I can be brave enough to watch a documentary. Right?
I’m working up the guts to see it tonight. Join me?

Joel Salatin (rhymes with “Paladin”) is a modern crusader-hero, and Food Inc is a timely and important doco, absolutely. But I agree that not everyone needs to see it.
Just reading the review left scars.
I agree that it will never make you look at food the same way again. But the way it reverberated along my life after I saw it was that I never looked at the way everyone looks/doesn’t look at their food again. Ever notice how often Armed Forces Recruiting Offices are positioned next to fast food outlets? Recruiters and prospective recruits are always at one of the tables in the local MickyD’s. People who can make the disconnect between a terrified four-legged animal and piles of identical frozen ground flesh are capable of anything. /rant
I dont have the stomach to watch it but I know exactly what is covered due to my incessant screaming about the factory farming industry for all of my late teens through my 20′s and 30s.
Im so happy that people are finally listening.
If you havent read “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Barbara Kingsolver then i say get ye to the used book store and pick it up!
it really changed how i cook and eat. its a little heavy on things that a lot of regular people cant really do but its a good place to take hints from.
