Did you see “Fast Food Nation”?

If you read the book by Eric Schlosser, or saw the movie version of Fast Food Nation, then you know that taking shots at Agribusiness through mass media is nothing new.

And if the message of the movie resonated with you, you might also be interested in seeing Food, Inc, which opened in NYC, San Francisco, and LA yesterday on June 12.

Slow Food USA writes:

The movie touches on many issues, including violations of farmworkers’ rights; aggressive litigiousness on the part of large agribusiness; food safety; the role of industrial organic; and some straight up weird stuff like an irradiated fat slurry that goes into most hamburger meat produced in this country. The main theme, as the title suggests, is what goes wrong when corporations control the food system.

Along with the movie they have released a companion book with the subtitle: How Industrial Food is Making us Sicker, Fatter and Poorer–And What You Can Do About It.
