Hungry For Change

"The industry doesn't want you to know the truth about
what you're eating, because if you knew,
you might not want to eat it".


I was fortunate to attend an advanced screening of Food, INC, an expose' on the food industry due out in theaters soon, thanks to my friend and former cooking-class teacher, Lisa Melian.

check out the trailer



The film was hard to digest at times (no pun intended) as it lifted the curtain hiding the truth of our food system. I must note that this movie was NOT a pro-vegan/vegetarian flick - in fact, vegetarianism was not even mentioned. Instead, this film urges us, the consumers, to educate ourselves on where our food is coming from so we can make healthier, more humane choices for all living beings and our planet.
