Interesting and Important film
This was a really enlightening and engaging film - great to find out
the meaning behind the labels and beyond that, how to eat healthy.
Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know what is in the food
they are buying and have the tools in hand to make informed choices.
Interesting but short on analysis
I learned a few new things from this video, which was good. But I find that the narrator makes fairly weighty assertions without presenting any facts, data, analysis etc. to back them up. For example, he mentions a number of times that in addition to the unhealthy chemicals, "large agri-business pollutes the environment"; my understanding is that large businesses typically drive efficiency up and waste down. So even though a farm may use bigger equipment, the fuel used per tomato grown will be less than that of a small farm (as a simple example). Maybe the claims are correct that large agriculture is worse for the environment but I think it is the job of a documentary to explain and provide evidence... not simply to repeat the common catch phrases and conventional wisdom of a popular movement.
a production that educates
Brings to light how industry is getting into the market of organics, which is actually bringing down the quality of foods.
Encourages me to keep going to farmers markets instead of buying organics at the grocery store.
