To my Friends – Good Luck,
To my Government Officials – look at what is being done in America in the name of government controlled big business. Your votes are moving America in the wrong direction. Look at the new big hospital wings being built in our town! They are building them for you not me because I care.
Sit back, relax, and watch some real TV – I am Terrill Epps and I approve of this message.
If you have Netflix… here are some great videos on Food in America and around the world. If you don’t have Netflix it’s cheap and available, see below. If you don’t have any money for it… see FREE below.
If you watch and listen… your family will be healthier that is for sure. You will know more than your doctor about why we have so much new disease in America.
If you watch several of these, 1 to 5 at least, I would say you will drastically change the way you look at food for your family. These are not in any particular order. Pick a few….
Food, Inc. (I’ve Watched This, one of my first and favorites)
Drawing on Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation and Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma, director Robert Kenner’s provocative, Oscar-nominated documentary explores the food industry’s detrimental effects on our health and environment.
King Corn (I’ve watched this… a big eye opener, one of my second favorites)
In Aaron Woolf’s thought-provoking documentary, friends Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis move back to America’s Corn Belt to plant an acre of the nation’s most-grown and most-subsidized grain and follow their crop into the U.S. food supply. What they learn about genetically modified seeds, powerful herbicides and the realities of modern farming calls into question government subsidies, the fast-food lifestyle and the quality of what we eat.
Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution (I’ve Watched This, it was the first one I think… this will get you thinking how important it is to your family, just because it is in France do not blow this off!)
Jean-Paul Jaud’s documentary visits the Barjac village in France, where the mayor has mandated an all-organic menu for the lunch program in the local school. Farmers, parents, kids and health care advocates discuss the impact of the decision. School and government officials also weigh in on why people are dying of cancer in ever-increasing numbers, the food industry’s role, the use of pesticides, nutrition and local sustainability.
Genetically Modified Food (I’ve watched this, it was very good)
In the race to feed our rapidly growing planet, scientists have discovered how to manipulate DNA to produce what they claim are stronger, more disease-resistant crops. But are these genetically modified foods really safe for consumption, or are we just guinea pigs in a large-scale nutritional experiment? This informational film presents the facts — and the pros and cons — behind this thought-provoking issue.
Food Matters This was good
With a staggering number of Americans suffering from obesity and other food-related maladies, this film takes a timely and hard-hitting look at how the food we eat is helping or hurting our health, and what we can do to live (and eat) better. Nutritionists, naturopaths, scientists, doctors, medical journalists and more weigh in on everything from using food as medicine to the value of organic food and the safety of the food we consume.
Deconstructing Supper (I’ve watched this, it was very good)
On a personal quest to understand our food choices, acclaimed chef John Bishop travels around the world exploring where genetically modified crops come from, whether they may be harmful and what alternative options currently exist. Through interviews with farmers, scientists and activists, this thought-provoking documentary offers substantial insight into the nuts and bolts of global food production.
Ingredients (I’ve Watched This)
Narrated by actress Bebe Neuwirth, this engaging documentary weighs the shortcomings of America’s industrialized food system against a rising local-growth movement, whose proponents are shrinking the gap between farmland and dinner table. With chefs Alice Waters and Greg Higgins as guiding lights, growers, restaurateurs and consumers around the country, from Oregon to Harlem, New York, discuss their methods for bringing food production back home.
The Gerson Miracle (I’ve Watched This, one of many cures for cancer)
Sharing the stories of nine longtime cancer survivors, this program explores the principles and effectiveness of Gerson Therapy, a holistic method of treating cancer and other degenerative diseases developed by Dr. Max Gerson in 1928. Gerson’s daughter, Charlotte — founder of the Gerson Institute — also discusses her fight to keep the controversial therapy going despite objections from those who question its effectiveness. – Controversial means – Not approved by our Government or Big Pharma.
Food Fight On my – to watch list
Discover the disturbing problems inherent in today’s food system with this insightful documentary, which profiles chef Alice Waters’s efforts to promote local, organic and sustainable agriculture as a delicious alternative to mass-produced fare. Narrated by actor Justin Kirk, this eye-opening examination of the food we eat features compelling interviews with author Michael Pollan and celebrity chefs such as Wolfgang Puck.
The Future of Food (Just say NO to Genetically Modified Food)
Before compiling your next grocery list, you might want to watch filmmaker Deborah Koons Garcia’s eye-opening documentary, which sheds light on a shadowy relationship between agriculture, big business and government. By examining the effects of biotechnology on the nation’s smallest farmers, the film reveals the unappetizing truth about genetically modified foods: You could unknowingly be serving them for dinner.
Fed Up! (I’ve Watched This, it was really good)
Nominated for an Environmental Media Award, this eye-opening documentary explores the United States’ food production system from the organic farming of the Green Movement to the genetically engineered food of the Biotech Revolution. Through fascinating archival footage and interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, Fed Up! provides a detailed and sometimes disturbing overview of contemporary food production.
