If you eat food, you need to see The Future of Food!
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. Learn more about the consequences of our food choices on our future. This documentary explores the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. It also examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multi-national corporations seek to control the world's food system.
The Future of Food explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today. The film has been screened at numerous film festivals and was chosen by the Oscar screening committee of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences as one of the best documentaries of 2004. It continues to receive support from organizations such as the Organic Consumers Association, the Soil Association of Britain, and Slow Food. To see the trailer, visit www.thefutureoffood.com.
