OH I forgot to add this movie the other day, The Future of food.
It is another great film about food and deals more with genetic modification and ramifications along with the future of the food industry if we do not choose to make better choices. People always think that voting is done at the ballot box. Well that is not true. Voting us done every day, every time you chose what music to buy, what food to eat, what TV shows you watch you are voting for more of the same. Instead of complaining about the music being a bad influence don't listen to it anymore and that will show your dissatisfaction. If you don't want so much junk food and processed food for you and the future generations of your family then buy all organic and stop voting for more of the same. Every time you use credit or borrow money from banks you are voting for more banks! It is simple but the Free market is the most powerful force on the planet and if we want a better future for us and our kids we need to make better choices and let the change start with us and not rely on other people or the government to do it for us. Anyone can talk and complain, but only leaders truly act and walk the walk. People think that as one person they have no say, but the consumer says it all. If the consumer isn't buying, the company will have no choice but to change in order to survive!
"Most people choose to take the advice they want and not the advice that they need."
I love that movie. I have been eating almost 100% organic since I learned about the problems associated with GMOs. Another good movie is "The World According to Monsanto" you can watch it for free on Google video.
