The documentary film Food Inc is being shown on the program POV (Point of View) on PBS on April 21 at 9:00 pm. I've seen this film twice and will watch it again. It is well-worth watching, IMHO. Did you know it is AGAINST THE LAW to criticize a food?! (Remember Oprah and her comment about hamburger? She only was able to win the lawsuit because she has enough money to fight the beef industry. You or I would not be able to win.)
Even the mother whose child died of ecoli could not tell the makers of the film how she had changed her eating habits since her baby died!!!! And she is still working to get Kevin's Law passed. This law will allow the USDA to shut down plants that are producing contaminated food products, which you'd think they should already be able to do, but, unbelievabley, can't.

I loved Food, Inc. too. I need to see it again - it was so full of great info and thought-provoking ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying reading about your doll-making. You have your dolls on display at the 6 Rivers Gallery, don't you? I've thought about entering some photos and some other stuff I make. Maybe I'll check into it.
You should, Lee Anne. You don't even have to be juried to put your work in the gift shop, and it only costs $25 a year. To be in a show, your work has to be juried (just the first time) and then it costs $25 a month.
