| Everything You Need to know you can Learn From tV | |
| By Tina Hemmerle | |
| Nowadays, $8.00 a month gives you free reign to explore, via instant stream on PC or TV, all that Netflix has deemed devalued enough to give away for one low cost. Well, thanks Netflix! And thanks, also, to Maynard Keenan of Tool, for producing that light-hearted and inspiring documentary about your Arizona vineyard and winery. It was quite refreshing after watching the following three documentaries on FOOD IN AMERICA today. | |

Food Inc. (2008) – (www.foodincmovie.com)
Watch this one first if you’ve been teetering on the fence of
vegetarianism/veganism for any length of time. It doesn’t only
feed you grotesque images of mistreated cows/chickens/pigs, although
I did burst into tears once because of this. The main focus is how a few main food corporations control most of the food production in America, and how their bottom line of productivity and profitability has become vastly more important than societal health, nutritional value, agricultural/ecological sustainability, environmental safety, humane-ness (of both animals and humans). Beware. Food Inc. will slap that blissful taste of ignorance right out of your mouth. |
| Food Matters (2008) – (www.foodmatters.tv)
You may find the primary topics of this documentary gleaming with
hope in comparison to the other two films. Professionals discuss how
food was the original “medicine”—and how it still
is the best medicine. Doctors are good at putting broken bodies back together, but the body is best at keeping itself healthy, provided you can keep it in one piece and give it the nutrition it needs to function as a perfect, self-healing machine. If you already believe pharmaceuticals are NOT the answer, and that doctors have no clue WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR BODY, this film will help you stay on the right path, while boasting that education is the key to unlocking the future of your best health. |

The Future Of Food (2004) –
(www.thefutureoffood.com)
Slightly outdated, this film left me with oh-so-many questions about
Monsanto (remember those fuc#ers???), biotechnology and genetic food
modification (primarily in plants), food patenting/labeling, USDA
“ignorance”, etcetera, and where those issues stand today. A catalyst for action, The Future Of Food, had me immediately researching things like “the Terminator Gene,” and “organic contamination by GMOs.” To say the least, I’m glad I don’t have kids to worry about feeding or passing this problem off to. Invariably an optimist, this film makes me feel deep, deep sadness and hatred for the individuals who allow (desire?) this as reality. |
