By far this is one of the best documentary's I have watched. It's called, Food INC and the video takes you through an investigation of modern food and how it's impacting our health (negatively) due to the insane growing techniques. I implore anyone who eats food () to watch this; and pass it along.



YouTube - Food, Inc. (documentary) [Part 1]

I also saw it; very illuminating! Those poor chicken farmers (not to mention the chickens themselves)!

It was very enlightening for me. I ended up watching the 8 parts on youtube and the last part on the documentary website.

Thanks for posting that link!

I think the general public has no clue about the foundations of this attack on their health, which in my firm opinion is not a case of negligence or irresponsibility, but one of purposeful action.

Not many consider the connections and the control pharmaceutical companies have on the agriculture industry as it relates closely to the healthcare industry. One side "feeds" (pun intended) the other side more and more "customers".

The entire "genetically modified" food industry is spearheaded by Monsanto, and the tons upon tons of chemicals used in food production is no small revenue item. The artificial sweeteners ... the artificial flavors .. the artificial colors ... the artificial textures .. all posing as diet food ... heart healthy low fat/cholesterol food ...

Big agra business has loved the cholesterol craze, with soy becoming the major poison crop that is easy to grow and pest resistant because insects have enough sense not to eat the stuff.

Soy ... being labeled by some savvy researchers as the"anti-nutrient" for it's ability to block vitamin and mineral uptake of the intestines surely must produce some added customers to the rolls of patients suffering the ever escalating "pharmaceutical deficiency" diseases taking over today!

None of this is accidental or coincidental ... you can bet on that!
