I would like the to watch Food, Inc.
There were several huge things in that movie that I would like people to know:
1) $2.50 for a dozen eggs is not that much. ALL you have to do is give up a two liter of soda to afford that. You will get antibiotic free eggs AND be healthier for drinking less soda.
2) Support farmers markets. Awareness for farmers markets will increase their availability to exist and provide GREAT things for communities and keep ALOT more money more local (I think they said the average American meal travels 1500 miles to get to your table, there truly is no reason it needs to be that way.
3) How the government truly controls so much of what you do and strong arms people into doing things whether they like it or not. It’s a really good example of how much few special interest groups can flex their muscle over the will of the majority, and how the government will gladly be involved in that at the expense of our freedom to choose.
Ever since I watched Food, Inc. for the second time, we spend 50% of our grocery store time in the fresh produce section. We buy produce grown in America first (it taste SO much fresher), and by making that simple change I eat alot less (good carbs keep you way fuller way longer), and I’ve gone from hole 2 to hole 4 on the belt just with that simple change. Dinner is more fun too, trying to find a way to incorporate fresh veggies into dinner rather than eating most crap out of a box.
