USA LEARNING WHAT'S WHAT WITH THEIR FOOD - from us both

We subscribe to 'The Ecologist' online - and very good it is too. Here is the link to a recent article - 'Big Food will do everything to stop you talking about this'.

Hooray for the brave Michael Kenner for making his documentary 'Food Inc'. We need people like him with the courage to penetrate the industrial food giants who are hell bent on hiding the truth about their horrendous production methods from the public. I mentioned Michael Pollan's exceptional and life-changing book 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' in my June 22 post; it seems this book did much to persuade Michael Kenner to make his documentaries. I am hugely heartened to hear that he says of his film '...It became one of the most successful documentaries of all time. The amount of press we got was really incredible. For a while we were the number one selling DVD on Amazon ahead of all the Hollywood movies.'

You can scroll down the Ecologist article to find links to other important food items.
