There is
revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of
America, a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the
food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into
the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered
foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the
past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields
of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives
and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology.
The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization
are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about the introduction
of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location
in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex
web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as
huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system.
The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture,
placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the
farm crisis today.
This
is an extremely important film.
I (Rhio) have lectured on the dangers of GE plant/seed technology
and it really amazes me how many people in the US prefer to hide their
heads in the sand about what is going on. In a way, I do not blame
them, it is not a pleasant subject to confront. But confront it we
must because it is up to us to solve this problem and become champions
in the cause of preserving Nature's Sacred Systems intact. I urge
you to show this film to as many people as are willing to look at
it. Most of us on the raw food diet love and appreciate the earth,
the environment, and Mother Nature. Please reach out to her...
she needs our help NOW.
