Recommended Films of the Week

Earlier this evening, I watched an amazing documentary called "Food, Inc.". The film does a tremendous job at detailing various food safety issues, the plight of the American farmer and other scary aspects of food production in the United States. For those individuals interested in this subject matter, I would also recommend another documentary called "Death on a Factory Farm". By the way, my favorite quote from tonight's documentary was from Joel Salatin, the owner of Polyface Farms (http://www.polyfacefarms.com/), which is a family owned, multigenerational, pasture based, beyond organic, local market farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. When discussing, among other things, genetically modified foods, Salatin stated that "I'm continually amazed by our ability to hit the bull's eye on the wrong target".
