So, do YOU know where the ingredients of your meal come from? I am once again breaking my silence on this seemingly defunct blog to let you know about this thought provoking and Oscar-nominated movie, Food, Inc.
Jamie Oliver is an advocate for better eating and food education. And I think this movie has the right mix of research and scare tactics to get people talking about where their food comes from. And the answers will jolt you.
You can find out how our demand for cheap and fast food has changed where ingredients are sourced, how farms have been transformed into factories, and why much of what we believe to be "food" is actually the product of man's desire to produce more in a small amount of space with a lot of synthetic inputs.
