This afternoon, as I do every now and then, I was browsing through the film trailers on Apple's web site. I ran across a trailer for a documentary about the American food industry. It is called Food, Inc and it is probably going to be the most important film you will ever see in your life.
How and why do I feel qualified to make that assertion, you ask? Because it is about something so simple that almost everyone has taken granted, yet it is one of the most basic of human necessities.
For as long as I've lived, just a tad over 28 years, my mom and dad strove to provide our fairly average family with nutritious food. Even now that I've been out of the house for years she still goes out of her way to make sure my brother and I eat well. It's one of the things that I have taken to heart, and I consider myself lucky because of it. My eating habits could be healthier, but for the most part I avoid the things that I know are not good for me. Saturated fats, high fructose corn syrup, chemical preservatives, etc. And many of the people I know do the same thing.
But after seeing this trailer I have a feeling when I go to see this film it will completely floor me, and anyone else who watches it. So please, do yourself a favor and go see it. I have a feeling it will change your life.
You can see the trailer for the documentary here.
