While I understand that each of these films push an agenda, I think it's important to glean what we can from each and apply what makes the most sense and what is most beneficial for our own families. Thank you again for your comments. :-) Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-12087008578608243852013-04-08T21:37:05.768-04:002013-04-08T21:37:05.768-04:00Food Inc. and Forks Over Knives were two huge eye ...Food Inc. and Forks Over Knives were two huge eye openers for my husband and me. We haven't seen the last 3 on your list but I love reviewing movies like this because it reminds me that my body is just a temple where my spirit is housed and it's my responsibility to maintain my temple. I love that quote graphic you added to the end of your post.

Food is such an emotional topic for Americans. We really get obsessed over it, like you've pointed out, and I think that's because the business world has made something that was once so simple (I mean, we used to access food in the same Europeans did, as you described) into something that's incredibly complicated. I know my hang up is that the way my extremely poor grandparents used to eat growing up is now reserved for upper middle class hipsters (granted, I don't think my grandma ever went to Whole Foods, but her food quality was the same, if not better). American ingenuity is great - it revolutionized hundreds of industries, but I think we went a bit too far when it came to our food (though I'm sure someone could argue that without Big Agro we'd have millions of people going hungry...so again, it's complicated, haha).
