Food Inc.
My family went to this film. It is very good.
www.foodincmovie.com Watch the video trailer.
The trailer talks about tomatoes and they say in the film "farming has changed more in the last 50 years" than all time before or something like that. They did a whole thing on corn and how it is chemically used in nearly all processed foods, changing it chemically into hundreds of different chemicals they put in our food. It follows the money for the corn.
They did not talk about nutrition per se, BUT did explain how Type 2 Diabetes is up in kids; how the cheap food and the demand for cheap food is making Americans sick. Families have to watch money and most won't pay for the fruits, veg, raw food when a dollar menu can fill them up cheaper (thus creating the higher and higher statistics on diabetes). This film is worth seeing.
There was very upsetting info on soybean seeds and that they are now "owned" by Monsanto company, and that farmers can't save their seed from year to year. I sort of remember something of this legislation a while back, but did not understand its impact to have genetically altered seeds owned by their developers and the long range impact on farmers.
The bulk of the info in the film was on the meat industry, but I knew most of that except for the e-coli connections which explains why we now get tainted food.
More info on the meat industry is in the Robbins book: Diet for a New America.
You can go to the film's site or the trailer and find where it is playing near you.
