The new documentary Food Inc is getting lots of press, and Kristof just gave it a plug. Would love to know people’s thoughts on this movie. From the outset, and I dont think the makers would object, the movie is slanted and I will write more this week on why i think so. The movie contains important information for the general consumer, but when it comes time to science, the environment and nutrition, we need to start digging deeper. We are talking about global food systems in all their complexity. Equating things to food miles, organic and grow your own food (!) are simple answers that dont address the need to feed 7 billion people in a sustainable and pro-nutritious manner.
