Movie Review: Safe Your Life and the Environment!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe the practices that are outlined in this movie. How sad is it that WE as Americans trusted the FDA to do the right thing regarding our health, only to find out that AGAIN capitalism is more important than the health of the citizens of the United States of America. I'm appauled and pissed off that this has been swept under the rug. Not only are we suffering, our children are suffering, and dis-eases as being allowed to proliferate and kill individuals every day as a result of the processing that is taking place!
Watching the Oprah Show may have saved my life and members of my families life, it's that simple! This FOOD SYSTEM is killing you! Do yourself and YOUR FAMILY a favor and start shopping local. Find local vendors and use them and stop buying and feeding your family the crap that they so arrogantly put on the market! I know many people who have illnesses that have become RAMPANT since this processing started, going green has changed their LIFE AND THEIR HEALTH! Think about all of the chemicals that they are using to process those meats, and the fact that you are ingesting those chemicals, and the fact that you have allergies, and the fact that you have hormonal imbalances, and the fact that you have no energy, and the fact that you have CANDIDA, and the fact that your child has a learning disability, and the fact that your hair is falling out, and the fact that your child can't control their temper, and the fact that you have fibro, ADHD, lyme disease, thyroid disorders, mental illness, constipation, gerd, etc. That list is long and while the doctors will be happy to provide you with a prescription, the prescription that will cost you a little bit more on the front end but HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS, is ORGANIC FOODS! Save your life today AND VOTE WITH YOUR POCKETBOOK, THREE TIMES A DAY!!!
YES, this prescription will take you more time, YES this prescription means that you have to cook EVERYTHING, yes it will get you closer to your family, YES, YES, YES, but in the long run you'll feel better so you can exercise and feel good about it and have more energy to spend with your family!:)
Movie Review: I was shocked, concerned, and well informed by FOOD, INC. !
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched a portion of the film "FOOD,INC." on the Oprah Show. It brought alot of questions out that had been worrying me just below the surface, for a while. Questions like, "why are chicken breasts so big now?", or "how healthy are the fruits and vegies I'm buying?", etc. So, I ordered this movie from Amazon.com, hoping to put to rest some of my inner fears; or at least, maybe hear some of the truth of what's out there. I was shocked,overwhelmed, and saddened by what I saw! I watched this film with my 24 year old daughter, and 26 year old son. We all stared at each other, and uttered things like, "are you kidding me?"! We all talked about it at length after it was over. Concerned that we had no idea what was going on, or how we were participating unknowingly! The next time I went to the grocery store, I was paralyzed with fear of the unknown! I kept thinking, "how am I going to find healthy food to serve my family now? Holy Cow!"
This movie is very through, and doesn't use harsh tactics to get your attention. The subject matter is enough to do that. What it does is show just a good glimpse of what happening in the food production world that has taken over farming as we thought we knew it. American farmers have been taken over by profit hungry corporations. Most humane animal treatment has gone out the window, along with food as God intended it. We are now eating food that has been genetically, antibiotically, and hormonally altered to turn up the profits! I felt really ashamed for not knowing intuitively that something is wrong! America is the fattest nation on earth,so is there a chance that altered food is contributing to it? Things like High Fructose Corn Syrup? Corn fed cows? Really? Please don't take my word for it, just get this movie, and watch it for yourselves. It is definitely a "MUST SEE TO BELIEVE" experience. Watch with someone who's health you care about! And for your futures sake, read the labels on everything you buy!
Movie Review: EYE OPENER
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a fan of Alternative Media Sources and smaller movie productions. Mainstream Media and Hollywood offer much needed services for the world; however, it's still refreshing to get the "Little Guys" opinion every once in a while, if for no other reason to ensure we gain a COMPLETE picture of our surroundings. First thing is first, THIS MOVIE IS NOT ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES. Instead, this movie outlines that while bigger companies grow in size and develop ways to feed LARGE amounts of the population at a RESONABLE price point, that inevitably compromises must be made. Unfortunately, as you watch this movie you are made aware of how drastic these Compromises are, and how they affect the Quality and Nutrition of our food supply. It also adds that every time you choose to buy food that is produced for the `MASSES", that you are in essence "casting your vote of approval". Conversely, if we choose to buy from local farms and natural/organic food processing plants, we will encourage this behavior. If enough of us make this choice, one day the Big Companies will see a chance to make money and will start investing into more appropriate food practices. Another disturbing fact the movie points out is "the average distance food travels before it gets to our grocery stores". With the average distance ranging from 1200-1600 miles, that made me wonder what would happen if there were a few "Temporary" disruptions in this food chain. For example, bad weather, high gas prices, trucker strikes, terrorist attacks, ect. It just seems to me that if we continue to rely on the Inefficient System that these Big Food processors use to feed us, we are setting ourselves up for failure. I would rather spend MORE MONEY NOW and ensure a healthier existence than spend MORE MONEY LATER for medications and hospitals bills from the poor quality of food that I ate while I was young!Movie Review: Is "Soylent Green" our future ??
Summary: 5 Stars
Holy Cow! I've watched this movie last night and I am still in shock.
I didn't order the dvd, I watched it online so I won't review the item or shipping, but the movie itself is very informative and scary at the same time.
One reviewer complained about the fact there was no scientific experts. Well, knowing that the FDA had among its members ex-employees from Monsanto or other Companies (who returned working for them), I wouldn't fully trust the experts, unless they are independent, which won't really happen. How independent or free are we? We cannot even know if we're eating meat from cloned animals because the Big Companies don't want to "scare" people? We cannot have all the information to make our decision. We cannot even say "I won't eat this or that" because the Food Companies can sue anybody because it hurts their business? And what about our health ??
How is soda cheaper than water? How is a burger cheaper than ONE red bell pepper? (hamburger 1$, 1 red bell pepper $1.89 in Houston, and it's not even organic!?).
Where do these E.Coli outbreaks come from? How come cows don't even eat grass anymore? How come the FDA is powerless and cannot event close down a "factory" which had E.coli contamination? Why? why? why?
Almost 2 years ago, we watched "the world according to Monsanto" and I was disgusted by their way of doing business, hurting financially the farmers, changing our food, the official regulations etc... and so we made some personal changes.
After watching "Food Inc", I won't turn vegetarian or "hippie" but for sure, I'll pay even more attention to what we eat and how the food is produced. I hope the American People will wake up and fight for the right to have better food and better information, otherwise, I am afraid the next step might be "soylent green"...
Movie Review: What's wrong with producing a lot of food in a small amount of space at a very affordable price ?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie starts with a simple question from Richard Lobb of the National Chicken Council : "In a way, we're not producing chickens, we're producing food. What this accomplishes is to produce a lot of food in a small amount of space at a very affordable price. Let somebody explain to me what's wrong with that." Well, this film does explain very well what's wrong with that.
The first point is that it is no good to treat animals as if they were mere *objects*. You'll see chickens and beef up to their knees in their own droppings. You'll also see chickens in their cages, not being able to carry even their own weight. The animals are kept all the time in the dark, including for us. It was very hard for the movie makers to obtain some footage from inside those chicken houses.
The second point, linked in a way to the preceding one, is that our food can easily become contaminated with E-coli, due to the droppings the animals carry on their skin. That's how food poisoning can occur in the slaughterhouse.
Barbara Kowalcyk, mother of a 2.5 old year kid, lived through the most horrible experience anybody can suffer : the death of her child... The reason : eating a ... hamburger... "We put faith in our government to be protected, but we're not being protected at the most basic level", she says. This is not an inconvenient truth - although this movie was produced by the same company that brought us the documentary with the same title. This is an ugly truth.
Can we do something about it ? Absolutely. "You can change the world, with every bite". Switch to organics. Even better would be to connect yourself again with the source of your food, of what you are eating, of what you are putting in your mouth ! The best thing to do would be to get involved with a local farmer you know and can trust.
