Yes, I saw this a couple of months ago. I had hoped it would win an Oscar so that it might attract more attention.
This whole topic is one I care about deeply. I am always amazed how many people are still out there who will eat anything, and who have absolutely no interest in where their food comes from and how many toxins are in it.
You are what you eat. You ingest toxins, and you will eventually become ill. It's that simple.
This is an area where a whole lot more regulation is needed, and the Canadians and Europeans are way ahead of you there.
The Swiss, take this to extremes—in a good way. Each egg you buy in Switzerland has a date stamp on it—when it was laid. Each piece of meat has a sticker telling you exactly which town it came from etc.
Food Inc. makes the point that consumers have to demand healthier choices. The industry won't lead the demand here—the demand has to lead the industry.
