I was sad though, when I went to see it, that I was only one of 4 people in the theatre. Hardly getting your message out there if that's the audience you have. Fair enough, this was the second showing, at a small theatre, only matinee, but still. All of these kinds of articles and movies just make me wonder how similar or different our food system is here in Canada in comparison.Marianne (frenchfriestoflaxseeds)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04164021241806320844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-75230346336451616122009-12-02T13:21:11.061-05:002009-12-02T13:21:11.061-05:00I loved Food Inc and it has definitely inspired me...I loved Food Inc and it has definitely inspired me to eat a more plant/bean based diet as opposed to beef/chicken.

I can always count on you for bringing both sides to view and give a down-to-earth conclusion. Personally, I get irritated by people who take the extreme side and go all "rah-rah, government is EVIL and all who eat farmed products are cows". <br /><br />I do agree that some things need to change, but realistically, many of us can't afford all organic and grass-fed meat.<br /><br />I think the movie is a great attention-seeker, and a kick in the gut, but change won't happen overnight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-86836600947086396232009-11-30T00:08:32.783-05:002009-11-30T00:08:32.783-05:00I like your take on the movie.

I read them at the ripe age of 17, and boy, they changed my life. Food Inc. is just a reiterating the books basically. Loved them all!<br /><br />Scary- but still, loved them. <br />Also: I lived in a TINY town in TX this summer, and thanks to WalMart I could eat greek yogurt without driving 1 hour to get it!
