It’s very eye-opening. As a natural chef student, I’m already fairly educated on the dangers of our food sources and overwhelming influences of the food industry, but this film certainly drove home its points. Prepare for traumatic footage of animal farms and their associated slaughterhouses. Definitely don’t take the kids to this one unless you want them to be vegetarian.

One thing I’ve become more aware of since viewing is sugar consumption (see my blog http://naturalchefshoshana.blogspot.com/2009/06/hidden-sugar.html). Sadly, we live in a culture where calories are commodities rather than nurishment. It is up to the consumer to demand that their health be taken into account when corporate interests determine how their food will be produced.

I read the book years ago and was depressed by the state of our country’s commercial food system. How exciting that elected officials are now watching this film at a screening. I’m looking forward to seeing the film when it comes out. Thanks for the preview.
