Food Inc by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation
Star studded cast of this enlightening documentary includes best selling authors Michael Pollan of Omnivore’s Dilemma and Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation. DON’T MISS IT! Even a critic of off base natural food suppliers, Michael Pollan replies to Whole Foods. Catch trailer of Fast Food Nation. I’m Outraged Again at things I knew and THRILLED beyond words that this incredibly well-done exposé is available for all to see. Excellent job!
Wake Up. Educate Yourself. Don’t Take Your Lifestyle for Granted.
Why go for natural and organic food? Eric Schlosser hits the mark as Food Inc reveals little known facts:
- 4-5 Large corporations manufacture the majority of commercially produced food
- Chickens raised in dark tunnels crowded so they can barely move, are raised on food laced with antibiotics and bred to grow breasts so large they can barely take a single step in their own waste
- Cattle raised on feedlot corn rather than, grass, stand ankle deep in their own waste and cultivate a new and virulent form of toxic ecoli bacteria, having caused the death of at least one child
- 3 tastes: salt, sugar and fat are incorporated into all packaged foods, none found in such concentrated form in nature
- 90% packaged foods contain corn, predominantly high fructose corn syrup, and a passel of other unpronounceable additives
- 1 in 3 Americans born after 2000 will contract type II diabetes due to commercial food consumption
- Mansanto’s genetically engineered seeds are environmentally devastating, and they brutally ruin farmers who don’t conform
Let What You See Change the Way You Eat.
- Buy Organic Food
- Search Out Local Natural Food, Produce and Meat
- Grow a Garden
- Become Vegetarian at Least 2-3 Days per Week
- It costs more in the short term to eat well than to eat badly, but when you Add Up Environmental Costs, Societal Costs and Health Costs – there’s no comparison.
- Walmart committed to buying dairy with no growth hormones because someone worked with them to realize how important it was!!! Help educate for change.

Hey Pat – thanks!!! Heard you were at Optimum so glad you keep doing your once or twice yearly pilgrimage. Wow! 8 weeks! I’ll bet you feel gr8! Yeah we’re getting dumped on WC 17″ as of yesterday and lots of plowing to do! Just got Ormus Supergreens – they rock! lol,
Cary
wow!! I downloaded your book yesterday read 90% before going to bed. wow!
I have toyed around with the thought of doing the “vegetarian thing” for quite some time. After reading your e-book I really think I can do this. I already grind my own flour for bread , juice a few fruits and veggies for breakfast, and try to avoid white food stuffs. Although I really struggle with the thought of not eating meat, I was raised on the farm, we raised what we ate, (we did not make a living selling these things. My father was a blacksmith and trained horses) Every fall we filled the deep freezers-yes plural- with fruit, veggies and meat- wild and domestic. Honestly every meal I have ever cooked has centered around meat. Every summer my brothers roast a pig for the family gathering. I guess those are reasons I will struggle with the concept. But there are so many reasons for me to plow forward not the least of which is the 200 lbs on my 5’5″ frame and the chronic infection I have had for 26 years in an old surgical scar that Dr. tell me “not to worry about”.
Thank- you Cary for being clear, strait forward and honest. Your book was easy to read and to the point and your recipes are easy to follow and basic . Thanks again, wish me luck I have to go get my beans soaking for tomorrows lunch.
Respectfully mickey
Hi Mickey – you are so lucky to have lived on home grown foods, meat included. Movies such as “Food Inc.” and “Fast Food Nation” teach us how unhealthy commercial animal food production is – so there is a huge difference between that and home grown. I’m so excited for you that you’re taking steps into your own well-being.
I’ll be opening my Get Healthy Now Club later this summer – sign up for my Free Tips so you can get updates – it will help you with info and support on a regular basis. Stick around – I’m working on some great projects that will help you a lot. I look forward to you reporting to me about your steps toward better health!!!
