The Book That Ruined My Life!

I am reading this book right now and I can't put it down. It stirs so many emotions in me: shock, disgust, anger, enlightenment...the list goes on. Because of this book, food shopping will be a nightmare because I will be compelled to read every single label. I will have to think twice about eating out at a fast food chain or restaurant. I will have to travel an hour out of my way to buy pasture raised, grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free meats and dairy. Because of this book, I will HAVE to visit a farm to learn and witness firsthand where my food really comes from. Suffice to say, if you want to remain blissfully ignorant, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

The Future of Food - Full Length Documentary

There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply.

Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.
