The "Food Inc." documentary


This controversial film aired on our PBS channel this week.  Embedded above are the first ten minutes of the movie; you will know before it's half over whether or not it interests you, and if so, you can check it out from your library or see the other 9 videos at YouTube.

Here is the Reddit discussion thread, which links to this report at Green Change:
President Obama announced that he will recess appoint Islam A. Siddiqui to the position of Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.  Siddiqui is a pesticide lobbyist and Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America, an agribusiness lobbying group that represents Monsanto.

  2. The liberals have to be up in arms about this sort of appointment, and the Republicans ignore it completely and continue to claim he's a liberal.

  3. Loved this movie. Been doing my best to boycott Monsanto for the last 1 1/2 years, but they're into everything, so it isn't easy. I can't abide their practices.
