Last Friday, Food, Inc. was released to an additional 90 theaters across America including Landmark’s local Plaza Frontenac location. As my saying the movie is a must-see is as biased an opinion as they come, how about a snip of what Roger Ebert had to say about his viewing of the film?
This review doesn’t read one thing like a movie review. But most of the stuff I discuss in it, I learned from the new documentary “Food, Inc.,” directed by Robert Kenner and based on the recent book An Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I figured it wasn’t important for me to go into detail about the photography and the editing. I just wanted to scare the bejesus out of you, which is what “Food, Inc.” did to me.

From the mountains of Panama and Ethiopia, to the urban-jungles of Portland and Chicago, journalist Michaele Weissman takes us behind the scenes for a look at the world of third-wave specialty coffee. How did we get to Starbucks, and where we go from here?

Wouldn’t it be great to think that a huge number of non-choir members went to see this film and ALL of them had the bejesus scared out of them too? Then perhaps we could get some meaningful regulations and stop the insane way in which our food supply and our earth is being poisoned!

Hey I just found another movie called Fresh that would probably be right up your alley. Freshthemovie.com. I think its focused on people who are doing something about our pitiful state of affairs. I’d love to see a screening put together here in St. louis sometime. Cheers.
