In case you haven't seen the latest "horror movie" about America's industrial food supply, FOOD INC., it is now showing in New York at Film Forum and reveals how the nation’s food supply has become industrialized and is controlled by a handful of corporations that often ignore consumer health, the livelihood of the farmer, and the environment in the interest of profits. The film includes interviews with Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma), Joel Salatin (Polyface Farms), and Gary Hirschberg (Stonyfield Farms). Showtimes are: 1:00, 2:50, 4:40, 6:30, 8:20, 10:15.
If you can't make it to the movie and want to know more, Council on the Environment/ Greenmarkets recorded a panel discussion. Link is here: http://www.cenyc.org/about/foodinc
