Food Inc

[Lady Henevere]

I do not have a tv I watch what I want basically on my computer :fancast.com, hulu..com, joost.com,youtube.com, etc. Does anyone know of any site that would have the Food Inc to watch ? To sign up for tv is not a feasible option as it is way too expensive , and there is so much else to do like read a book ,enjoy nature ,email ,cook a new recipe,talk to my SILKIES etc...........

The netflix site says you can buy stuff to stream directly to your computer. Maybe that would work? Or does your computer play DVDs? If so, you can just rent the DVD (or request it from your local library) and watch it on your computer. Another option is if a friend has one of those little portable DVD players. Or if you have an iPod or iPhone that plays video, you may be able to get it on iTunes (I don't know if it's available there).

We FINALLY watched it last night with the kids and DD18's boyfriend. I called it mandatory movie night! We have had it for nearly a week, it is so hard with teenagers who work, sports, and a 7 yr old who goes to bed at 8.... to get everyone together at a decent time to sit and watch a movie.

There were 7 of us and I kept having to shush everyone... mostly for commenting on things that were taking them of topic....look at his hat or something equally as stupid. We did stop it at a couple of points to discuss in more detail certain things like the beef filler, downer cows, Monsanto and the deeper meaning of what they are doing....all in all I know they all got something out of it. But it does seem like a good movie to watch more than once.

Perhaps now that they really see the abuse of meat animals maybe they will come around to my theory that a home raised animal who lived a happy, healthy life is a better choice.

Looking up Fathead today!

Hmmmm..... I did watch the film this weekend as well.....

I was very disturbed my the actions of Monsanto, no not really, it pissed me off.

Its nothing short than making a monopoly of seeds. Not to mention chemicals like round up, seeds and chemicals together for bumper crops.

Did you see the fields? No hedge rows for birds to live in, just row upon row of corn.

Maybe I will mention something else I learned from the film that I never even had any idea of the affect of NAFTA from another countries point of view. Being a huge Anti NAFTA person, my selfish feelings were focused my own country and the loss of jobs here. I did not know that NAFTA also destroyed the Mexican grain market putting 1.5 million grain farmers out of work.

What civil change must we have before they will abolish NAFTA? I know, round up those mexican farmers, get every unemployed american together and march on washington!!! I bet it won't slow the wheels for CAFTA...

Did you see the mounds of corn just rotting? Hmmmmm..... Starving people, rotting corn....

The film just highlighted my personal cause and drive of why I am living as ss as possible.

The emotional impact of losing the farm when I was 14 is deep rooted today. Not only cultural shock for a young man, country to the big city after a three hour flight. But I always felt as if Mom and Bobby were robbed of the farm. I know its easy for me to say that, not knowing all the money problems they had at the time.

But the roots that were placed in me at the time was how much I hated big companys and banks. Perhaps the same reason I hate wally world and the destruction it does to small town america. I would rather do without than to give them one red cent of my money.

If you watch the film, and don't see anything wrong with America and its food system, what's the point?

I imagen I have the same feelings as did those patriots fight in the revolutionary war?

Who said coup!!!!

Finished it yesterday. Have you seen Supersize me?

I agree that Food Inc. must be watched more than once.

Yes, when my 13 yr old was probably 11...he has refused to eat and McDonalds ever since!

Well then Fathead will be an eye opener! I'm not a fan of fast food, but this movie really opened my eyes. Talked about it all evening and even this morning.

Tom Naughton is a great guy. Really funny. I have chatted with him a couple of times on a low carb forum. He had to actually UP his carb level for the documentary...LOL

Do you get netflix? The first month is free and you don't have to sign a contract. Get those movies and then cancel. Girl you have to see both. Fat head is good to watch if you are worried about your weight AND health.
