Controlling Our Food

Not to go all “Papa Scott” on anyone, but I watched this video and felt pretty freaked out.

It’s the story of a boy! A girl! And a galaxy!!!

Wait . . .  that’s Star Wars.

What I meant to say is, “It’s the story of a tyrannical corporation that doesn’t care if it kills everyone in agony from horrible diseases-so long as it makes a buck!” I guess I wouldn’t be very good at PR.

The point of the matter? Is that this is super freaky. And that this information is some that you can probably get from a lot of sources. My recent documentary lust has brought up some of this already, a la The Corporation and The Future of Food. The way that we’re all being screwed with a smile is enough to turn my stomach and make me never want to eat again. What’s also super troubling is that unless you think to look for it, you wouldn’t know. And so a lot of this could sound like the mad ravings of, say, a comic book worshiping, software engineering, middle aged conspiracy theorist . And, honestly, who’s really down with spending a Friday night hooked up to informational films (Besides freaks like me.)?

(As an aside? If you are a freak like me? Hook me up with some good documentary titles!)

So I hope everyone is enjoying paying their exorbitent prices for organic foods. I know I am. Enjoy them while they last!!!

Below is another film about genetically modified crops. A little less information maybe but somewhat more user friendly to watch.
