Amen to that.

Besides one factual error in The Future of Food, everything in all three of these movies checks out. This is one major issue that unites people from all political beliefs.

For any that don’t have time to watch the film here are some simple rules = buy organic local food first, then local conventional, then organic, then (if you absolutely have to) non-local non-organic. Always buy grass-fed beef and free-range chicken. It’s most important to buy organic fruits/vegetables if you eat the surrounding layer (think apples, peaches, grapes, carrots). Every time you buy something you are placing a vote that says you want more of it.

Your title struck me, because when my younger brother died many years ago, the doctor told my mother in the words: “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away”.

We all have crosses to bear, and Job is the ultimate example. I won’t go into my crosses, but want to say that we all bear them. So we must count our blessings and be positive and remember that faith brings the peace that passes understanding. My best to both of you.

I watched the preview for it and it looked very similar to Food, Inc. (which I caught in the theater this year). So, I haven’t watched it yet. The same guys seem to be interviewed in both movies, but it seems like The Future of Food puts more emphasis on what we should do, rather than what the problem is.

I’ve also watched King Corn, which was equally disturbing and led me to limit my corn syrup intake and always buy grass-fed beef.

Have any of you watched this documentary?

My favorite tea is kava tea. But the brand I like has cinnamon in it and I am allergic to that.
