In an inquisitive and accessible journey from the source to the shelves, stopping everywhere in between to answer such essential and universal questions as:-Local vs. Organic?-What can be learned from indigenous food practices?-Vegan vs. Vegetarian vs. Omnivore?-What are the consequences of our current system?-Could you actually kill an animal for its meat?We welcome more screenings, be they in a gym, a school, library or your house! From Nome to NYC we've had people eat long with the film, bring in worms and chickens as part of sustainability events and add local speakers and workshops!Cheers and eat well.

I will watch the future of food too. I wanted to recommend a show I've been watching: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on ABC. His show focuses on changing the food schools serve for lunch. He apparently convinced the schools in Britain to spend 1 billion dollars to change the food they serve. He's trying to do the same in the U.S.It's amazing to see how much we don't really know about the food industry and how this processed junk is made. It's pretty gross. I'm really glad all these movies and shows are popping up about this issue. I'm a high school teacher and the crap that's offered in the cafeteria is shocking. It's all about money instead of what is good for the kids.We've become so disconnected with our food, the way it's made and even with the person who's making/preparing it. I hope more documentaries focus on these issues. I’ve seen food inc. and thought it was enlightening and scary. I will watch the future of food too.

It won't be until we the people demand campaign finance reforms and changes to lobbying rules that we can really trust the government to act in our best interest.

I haven't heard of that, but it's pretty scary. If it poisons the worms, I'd imagine it does the same to humans, at a much lower level of course.I haven't seen any of the others you mentioned, but one day I will.CheersScott lel, potatoes that the worms won’t eat?

I think that is a great organization you guys are setting up there. I've often wondered just what we could do if people took 1/4 of their yard and grew food. Most people just grow grass, which they cut because it grows too tall, then they water it to make it grow. Good luck with it!I hear ya on eating squash and greens...it's not much better 150 miles south in Kentucky! Luckily, I love squash and greens of all types.I think the part that infuriates me most about Monsanto is that, if they own the patent, and they can sue you even if you didn't plant their seeds, but the seeds wound up in your field somehow, what stops them from just driving around "accidentally" distributing seeds around the nation?CheersScott Frank, good to hear from you!

Until this ends, we will have to fend for ourselves at the local/community level. “Is it possible for the government to be unbiased and work for the public good when high-level officials have direct ties to the industry they are regulating?”No. There is too much lobbying and funding going on between corporations (food, health care, pharma) and officials that are supposed to be acting in the best interest of the people of the country.

I hope everyone in the Fitness Spotlight community gets a chance to watch this.I saw this video when it first came out which was around the same time I started my journey on healthy lifestyle with fervent passion. I watched it again when I got this newsletter and what caught my attention this time around was this --("Monsanto's BT corn is registered as an insecticide because every cell has been engineered to manufacture a natural bacterial toxin"). And to think that most Americans are made up of 75% corn (based on the typical American diet), this is pretty scary. Does this mean we are Round Up ready???This documentary points out another good reason to avoid grains. We may not be out of the woods for long if BIG Ag companies continue their pursuit in genetically modifying other soil grown foods. Back in 2002, I went to a health workshop where the nutritionalist was talking about Monsanto experimenting with injecting chemicals in potatoes so the worms would not eat them - I don't know if these ever made it to the market.We as food consumers still have a say in what we eat so we need to buy fresh foods from our local farmers, join a CSA, and/or get involved in your local health support groups.Here are some other documentaries on food that have been on my watch list:King CornFreshFood, Inc.The most recent food documentary I heard about is "Farmageddon". The book did not get rave reviews and I have not read it so I will reserve my comments. Scott – I can’t say enough ‘THANK YOU’ for imbedding this video in the newsletter.
