Not that I expected anything different but my wife wanted to see this. What a bunch of cra*. Sure, there are some undesirable aspects of our food supply, but it completely ignores all the positive benefits of cheap, easily available food.

    I have this in my netflix queue. My wife wants to see it since she is on a health food kick. I am kinda scared to see all things that go into our food.

    Actually, I'm surprised, but I liked the film. I'm way far away from being a conspiracy guy, but this movie got me thinking about and making some real changes to my diet. I've done a little more research into one of the main guys behind the movie, Michael Pollan, and found him to be a very credible food expert and author. He's written some books and I've begun reading one of them.

    He may be overlooking "all the positive benefits of cheap, easily available food," but if he's right, the drawbacks of the food just might outweigh the benefits. I'm no health food nut - not by a long shot - but I'm beginning to to take stock of what I eat and how it affects my life. That's not a bad thing to do.

    Do you work for Tyson chicken? Some "undesirable" aspects of our food supply, that are a result of Government subsidies....
