Food Inc

Wow what a movie the first time I watched this I found myself having a truly hard time buying meat from the grocery store, in fact that still lingers with me months later.  Recently however I was asked to watch this movie for class.   
Watching the movie the 2nd I found myself getting angry not so much for myself and my food but for the workers who are given no choice, the men and women who are disregarded and treated no better than the animals.   My first inclination is to demand the government fix the problem, then the reality hits the government can’t fix this.   They have helped create this mess, with their subsidy’s and destruction of real food prices.  
The only people who can make a difference is you and I we can demand change we can refuse to eat the garbage they have chosen to feed us.  Educate yourself on where your food is coming from know your farmer when you can.   Learn to cook using basic ingredients, keep frozen homemade entrees in the freezer for the nights  you don’t  have  the time or energy to cook.  Contact your Congress men and women and Demand labeling of GMO foods.    Educate others, get involved, start  a community garden.  Remember you have the right to know about your food 

For those who are interested I would also recommend "the world according to Monsanto"  "
