Movie Review

Sorry folks, I've been missing for the last week or so. I've been having a bit of quasi-writers block. Anyway, I saw a movie over the past weekend that I thought I'd write about. Food, Inc is a documentary about our food supply in this country (the U.S. for any overseas readers.) This is a must see for anyone who is concerned about what you eat. As a big proponent of eating an all natural diet of meats, vegetables, and fruit, Food, Inc. simply confirms everything I've been preaching. I especially like the fact that they make a very clear distinction between corporate raised meat and naturally raised meat. They are not anti-meat by any stretch. They understand that eating meat is essential to achieve optimal health. But eating the meat sold at the grocery store by corporations like Purdue and Tyson is not the way to go. I've referred to the line, "You are what you eat eats." This is very true. Corporate raised animals are fed a diet of grains and soy. You don't want grains and soy in your system. I buy my meat (eggs, chicken, beef) at Trader Joe's. Whole Foods also has a great selection of grass fed meats. And here is a good online source as well. And another. And here's a farm locator. Yes, this is more expensive. It is a shame that families need to choose a box of pasta over vegetables due to the fact that a box of pasta costs $1 and a couple stalks of organic broccoli can cost $3.50. That is insane! I think we have the ethical obligation to support the farmers who are raising naturally raised food in order to vote against corporate food that does nothing but make us fat and sick. That's my rant, check out the flick.

And here's another documentary that looks interesting. It's called "The Business of Being Born." I think I'm going to check it out.

And finally...more proof that Cardio Sucks!
