Food, Inc.: Take Action!

I’ve gotten several emails and comments from people who think I’d enjoy the movie Food, Inc. (thanks, Catherine, Georgina, and Shannon!).

Sadly, I haven’t had a chance to see it yet. I’ve read enough about the food industry to have a good idea about the contents of the film, but I’d still love to see it. The practices and manipulations of the food industry should be widely known and it’s great that this movie is trying to spread the word. If you’ve seen it, feel free to comment or reblog and let me know what you thought of it. In the mean time, I checked out the Food, Inc. website and found this list of 10 things you can do to change the food system, many of which I’ve discussed before (click here to get details):

1. Stop drinking sodas and other sweetened beverages.
2. Eat at home instead of eating out.
3. Support the passage of laws requiring chain restaurants to post calorie information on the menus and menu boards.
4. Tell schools to stop selling sodas, junk food, and sports drinks.
5. Meatless Mondays — Go without meat one day a week.
6. Buy organic or sustainable food with little or no pesticides.
7. Protect family farms; visit your local farmer’s market.
8. Make a point to know where your food comes from — READ LABELS.
9. Tell Congress that food safety is important to you.
10. Demand job protections for farm workers and food processors, ensuring fair wages and protections.

Everyone needs to see this.

I want to see this. Another good movie is Fast Food Nation. If anyone wants to borrow it, just ask me. :)
