A must-see film: Food, Inc.

Below is a link to a documentary called Food, Inc. It reveals the unhealthy truth behind the food industry in North America. Many things that agribusiness has kept hidden are brought to light and, if you buy your food from a grocery store, your health depends on you watching it.

Food, Inc. was nominated for an Oscar.
