Don’t forget the documentary “Good Food” - saw that a few weeks back at Cinema 21...very good.

Can’t wait to see Food Inc! It looks fantastic!

I am so excited about this movie. I can’t wait to see it.

I am so excited about this movie. I can’t wait to see it.

We got tickets in advance for the Friday opening in Nashville, which includes a panel discussion afterwards. We can’t wait!

I can’t wait to see the movie. I hope people will listen!

Loved the movie! Also learned a lot of new ways the big corporations control way too much of our food!

I am definitely planning to see the movie! It is being shown locally this weekend

Am pleading with my husband to go watch it on our date night - he’s been much more on board with paying attention to where our food comes from since reading Bittman’s “Food Matters” with me. Yay!

I’m scared. I want to see it but I’ve already stopped eating a bunch of foods because of movies and National Geographic specials so I"m not sure my diet can handle it!

You have enlightened me...have already checked where in my area it is playing and trying to get a group together to see it! Thanks/

I can’t wait to see the movie!

I am SO seeing this movie!

It really had scope, though the GMO issue really warrants its own film. Food, Inc. director Elise Pearlstein joined us on our Portland radio show last week: http://kboo.fm/node/14781

Happy birthday to me!!

I took my Husband to see this film at the opening in San Francisco. I have been a fair food advocate, Slow Food member and even a US delegate to Terra Madre last year...so he had heard alot of talk around the house about the issues of “container” animal farming conditions, Monsanto and the like....but nothing is like seeing for yourself! He came out of the film a believer and I know that it will change the way he thinks about the food on his plate forever. He now says how lucky our family is that we have had me advocating for good, clean and fair food choices all these years and as a professional chef that cooks for kids, I realise more all the time how very important my job is!

I can’t wait til the movie comes to my area! Or, I may have to travel to see it!

I was there last night as well. The story of Kevin, boy who died from E coli tainted burger, really haunted me. His mom’s strength astounds me. I wish I could get my Green Revolution dad to go see the movie.

Saw Food, Inc. in Atlanta on Saturday night. It is very well done and get across the message that agribusiness is unsustainable. Same night screened an advance copy of FRESH: The Movie that shows small farmers who are doing the right thing. I feel a strong movement afoot in this country. If we are to truly overhaul health care it must start with food. End the subsidies on soy, corn, and canola, label (if not prohibit) GMO foods, and don’t interfere with my right to purchase food from my local farmer!

Wish I could see it too, but am in Germany. Will have a look to see if I can find some of the suggested documentaries though. Thanks for the heads-up!

So excited to see this movie!!

I have a funny feeling that Food, Inc. is not going to be on the movie menu in Longview, WA theaters any time soon. I will hope to get it on DVD in a few months...maybe it will convince my 16 year old that I’m not insane to pay extra for grass-fed beef and pasture-raised chickens, animals raised by a real-person farmer I can talk to.

I can’t WAIT to see it!! That and FRESH.

“Food, Inc.” has arrived in Chicago! I hope the momentum for it continues. I still have vivid memories from reading a long excerpt of “Fast Food Nation” in The Atlantic Monthly when the book first came out.

I have done screenings in Napa for the Future of Food, King Corn and the Real Dirt on Farmer John. The next one I have for this summer is FRESH, which looks to be of the same ilk. It’s great that these films - esp. Food, Inc. - are getting more publicity and exposure. Carry on supporting our local farmers!

I am looking forward to seeing the movie, with my husband and several friends, all of whom need a little extra incentive to think a little more about how and why food gets to our table.

I am anxiously awaiting the opening in Salem. I wish that my in-laws would see it. They are constantly making “digs” and snide remarks about the organic, natural, and local foods that I buy, not seeing the value in those choices for our family. I always tell me kids, “when you know better, you do better.”

It is so gratifying to see more films and books that are raising public awareness of what we eat and where it comes from, who profits, and how we got into the industrial food era. Really inspires the “Farm to Table” movement, home gardening, and a return to healthy eating. Hope I get a chance to see this film soon.

I’m eager to see this movie. I remember reading Fast Food Nation and how shocking some of the revelations were.

THanks for the opportunity to own these books.

Good to know there is new information for even the educated!

This is a real “eye opener” on how our food is grown, raised, and a majority of the time we don’t even know where it comes from. We have more health problems than we did a few decades ago. I am sure this is a big part why. I am really looking forward to watching this movie.

I’m glad someone is picking up the ball on Michael Pollan’s books. Maybe we CAN change the system.

I cannot wait until the movie opens in the Providence, RI area. Taking too long to get here, but will support it.

There’s serious buzz around Food Inc. I’m a young organic farmer near Minneapolis and have heard amazing things about this movie from our customers. They are jazzed up! And even more committed to us, and other local, organic farmers than ever before. Thanks for showcasing this film, and we love your website.

Thank you for a helpful newsletter w/links to interesting blogs.It is helping me put together a better/deeper approach to food and eating.

What I have found most interesting about Food, Inc., a documentary I have yet to see (not playing in rural Vermont), has been the reaction by people in the industrial food system. It seems that the film is absolutely lifting the veil on the system, which is driving such a strong, and often times, coordinated response. Just what the doctor ordered!

I literally just returned from seeing the film this evening with my 10 year old son. It opened in Toronto a few days ago. I had read the reviews and was not sure how he would respond to the graphic images, but he was very interested in going. We found much of it disturbing, and it provoked a fascinating and complicated conversation -- how to explain to a 10 year old why people would treat animals in that way? He now understands -- in a very visceral way (no pun intended) exactly why I don’t allow him to eat industrially processed meat.

I like the list of food documentaries. Thanks!

My favorite documentary (although I haven’t seen them all) is the Real Dirt on Farmer John and I’m hosting a movie screening for my CSA to show the movie next week! I’m also going to pass along the movie list - thanks for sharing.

I first found about this movie from the foil liner on the organic yogurt I buy. Unfortunately, it is not scheduled to show in the western NY state are (where I live)...yet. Thanks for this list of other food documentaries.

I never would have believed that we would have documentaries that people would actually want to see.

I am hopeful that this documentary will come someplace close, I live in the mid-west, and we are very sheltered here about the truth of our food industry. I continue to be overwhelmed with how we are being duped in regard to one of our most basic needs...food!

Another one that I want to see is “Dirt: The Movie.” Illustrates the importance to all of life that the top, thin layer of the earth really is. Check out the trailer: www.dirtthemovie.org

We are addressing this problem. We need the help of everyone to overhaul the corporate food system (without overturning the apple cart!). Learn more at www.ecofma.com Ecological Food Manufacturers Association. Thanks!

Fantastic! Saw it at the opening here in LA; the director was here too. This may be THE pivotal movie to finally, completely, wake up Americans to the decades long coverup of industrial food. Thank goodness we are on this path! Everyone needs to spread the word and take people THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING. I assume most of the readers here have a clue; preaching to the choir. Glad that older children will go, and WONDERFUL that parents are making the right choices for the future citizens of our world. THANK YOU to you all, and keep voting with your forks!!!

can’t wait to see it!

I hope they show it in my town!

My thoughts on this movie and linking it to our lives:
From the Movie to How We Eat

My main concern is how we get different ital butts in the seats. At my showing it was definately already a choir that had bought the gospel. Need to get others to listen.

I try through my blog to open dialog. But I’m just one.

I’m really excited about this movie. Hoping it opens lots of peoples eyes.

I appreciate your newsletter and support of SLow Food!! You provide an important avenue for educating the public about their food sources

i’m always amazed at how little people know about where their food comes from. more films like these need to be made. thanks for the links!

I’ve seen Supersize Me, and thought that was good, but would be interested in reading those other two.

Love your site and newsletter. We manage an urban farm on a college campus in San Diego - and incorporate much of what we learn here.

hope to catch the movie soon
