This movie looks really interesting, thanks for sharing, Amy. And “Pressure Cooker” looks good as well, Gregory. Thanks for sharing that, too.

I’m definitely wanting to see this, especially the stuff about Monsanto and also the political stuff. Great review Amy. Thanks for sending. I’ve been trying to catch up since vacation, so thanks also for your patience. :)

I was able to see this film early and a lot of the content is pretty chilling. I agree with you about the Monsanto piece -pretty bizarre. Definitely worth seeing. Next on my list is the new documentary Pressure Cooker, I think released this week? http://www.takepart.com/pressurecooker/

The unfortunate part is that the majority of people who are interested in and will actually see this movie are the ones that are already aware of the problems with food processing, and already take measures to change their eating habits. The movie studio and marketing behind the film needs to figure out a way to reach all the other people.

Thanks, Amy, for bringing up this important movie. Aside from the chemical-derived plants that Americans consume, there is the reality of slaughterhouses and corporate farming in this country. Seeing the treatment and killing of farm animals first-hand stays with a person, so I hope this movie is as eye-opening and inspiring as Al Gore’s message. If American’s were forced to watch how an animal was treated over the course of its short life before reaching the dinner plate, we’d probably see growth in the localvore and organic free-range farm movement. Imagine the day when force-feeding baby cows in veal-fattening pens has ceased in this country.
