Food Inc is all the buzz this week (cross-post)

Here's one example where one post I write is appropriate for cross-posting at almost every blog I write.

Over at Elisa's Green Scene, I did a brief recap of some of the reviews and some of my thoughts about the new documentary, Food, Inc.

Food, Inc is somewhat based on MIchael Pollan's work and a great deal of its focus is on the health ramifications of our current agro-industrial complex approach to food production on humans, particularly lower-income families.

So I thought it belonged here, and I'm wondering if any of you are planning to see it or have seen it?

Of course, I also have a vegan blog. And a personal blog where I write both movie reviews and occasionally items about animal rights. So this belongs there too.

Might start to feel a little bit like cheating though!

For this blog, I'd like to direct you to a particular part of the site about this documentary: The Hungry for Change Cafeteria.

Healthy school lunches seem like a total no-brainer, but in fact one of the small things you can do is start to activate around your local schools, particularly by telling your local schools to stop selling sodas, junk food, and sports drinks. 

Hell, I'd say you should do that even if you don't have kids in school!

But if you do have kids in school: What are their food options like? Food, Inc. wants us all to know...and to work to make those options healthier...for children in every kind of school at every kind of income level.

Who could argue with that?
