We watched Food, Inc. last night. Some of the movie shocked me. Of course, much of it was not a surprise, but - unlike Michael Moore-style documentaries - this presentation of the issue, corporate "ownership" of the US food supply, was, for me, scary. Scary because it illustrated how consolidation has optimized prices for the business world, somehow decreased oversight/regulation and made the entire system potentially more at risk.And, for someone who loves food, creates the notion of homogeneity in food products, the death of seasons and a dependence upon transportation that all seem to be inconsistent with cooking and fresh food.
I am not sure I will ever read a nutrition label the same way.
