I just received an amazing email from one of my clients today. I recently listened to an amazing CD called the Cornification of America by Michael Pollan. Michael discusses the role of corn in our modern diet and dis-ease as well as the history of corn production and how the government has subsidized growing this plant.
There is a movie coming out that includes health industry experts like Michael Pollan, that specifically focuses on the nature of the food industry and the lack of label regulation.
How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Food, Inc. lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer.

There is also a book companion to the movie, Food, Inc. available at Amazon.com. The book explores topics that were discussed in the movie, such as the industrialization of our food supply and the benefits of local and organic eating. Food experts including Marion Nestle, Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan, and Anna Lappé, take these topics to another level through thirteen fascinating essays, some of which have been written especially for this book. Check it out!
