Where Does Our Food Come From?

Have you ever wondered where the food you are eating comes from.  Recently I watched the documentary "Food Inc."  It is an eye-opening account of the food industry in present day America. This film documents how factory farms, fast food chains, use of pesticides, and genetically engineered food  have led us, as a nation, down the road to an unsafe food system causing sickness, obesity, and horrible working conditions.

I personally think this is a very important issue.  I am a big supporter of Buy Fresh Buy Local programs.  I know this time of year for those of us who live in cold climate it is hard to buy locally grown produce but I think we all should make an effort to buy as much locally produced food as possible. 



Here is a link to Food Inc. website.  There is a petition you can sign to help the cause.
