Makin’ People Think is ALWAYS a good thing!!


This documentary came out a while ago, but has just recently come to my attention… so I thought I’d pass it on!

I have been thinking about food ALOT lately, with being pregnant and having young kids and my dad having cancer.  I was actually just talking to Mike the other day about food, the environment and their relationship to health overall.  I honestly feel like I’m a fairly healthy person, but I do eat my fair share of processed food and I absolutely LOVE chips… almost any kind of chip will do.  Just give me the salty crunchy goodness of a bag of salt & vinnigar chips and I’ll have a hard time being self-controlled.

I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I’m planning to watch it tonight, because I just found out that it is on Pay Per View with AT&T right now.  I’m hoping I can convince my husband to watch it too!

In general, we as a people, spend less money (proportionately) on food than ever before in history.  One person I heard from recently commented on a few rules about deciding what to eat…

1. don’t eat anything that has ingredients in it that a 3rd grader couldn’t pronounce!

2. don’t eat anything that your great-grandma wouldn’t recognize as food.

3. don’t eat anything that doesn’t die or rot!!

If this doesn’t worry you… it probably should!  Think about it!

Anna - We’ve actually shown this to our parents and our faculty and staff. Sadly, my community is a community that is very poor and fast foods, candy, sugar filled drinks, are less expensive than food that is healthy and so they turn to being able to feed a family of 4 or 5 or more with a few bucks so the best answer to that is ….fast food. Thanks for sharing!
