Do you know where your food comes from and how is processed? Find out what you are eating and decide for yourself whether it good, or not, for you and our environment. Come to the screening of FOOD, Inc. and participate in the post-viewing discussion.
Join us on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 7:00 PM. at St Mary Parish in Los Gatos.
FOOD, Inc. is a documentary about the food industry. The film's first segment examines the industrial production of meat (chicken, beef, and pork), calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable. The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables (primarily corn and soy beans), again labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable. The film's third and final segment is about the economic and legal power of the major food companies, such as food libel laws, whose livelihoods are based on supplying cheap but contaminated food, the heavy use of petroleum-based chemicals (largely pesticides and fertilizers), and the promotion of unhealthy food consumption habits by the American public.
