Food Inc. Everyone should see this!
Food Inc. is one of those documentaries that can change the world. It asks the questions, you’re too afraid to ask, when it comes to food and while we can’t watch it on PBS here in Australia it is available on youtube and I’ve put the 9 parts that make up the movie below.
Food Inc. Shows us why it is cheaper to by a fully cooked hamburger than a head of broccoli. – in other words, ‘Why is junk food cheaper than healthy food?’. Everyone is focussed on the HOW when it comes to mass producing our food but no-one is asking WHY? And you’re going to see that ‘because it’s cheaper’ is not a great answer.
Your going to see how your food is controlled by a tiny handful of companies that have taken the farming out of farm and the implications from this are pretty serious.
In short, grab a coffee – the full show is below although split into parts:
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Part 4: – told you it was rivetting stuff didn’t I?
Part 5:
Part 6:
Part 7:
Part 8: I can’t embed part 8 so you have to watch it at youtube – I’ll pop it up in a new window for you.
Part 9:
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I also hope the links still work and PBS haven’t taken them down.
