So guess what Oprah talked about on yesterday's show......the movie/documentary Food Inc. If you have not seen it yet you have to get that movie and watch it. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR FOOD REALLY COMES FROM.....is Oprah's question. After seeing that movie you will not want to eat meat anymore and buy organic.....at least that is how I feel. And now after Oprah discusses the movie with the guy who made it I seriously wish I could go vegan and buy only organic food but I live in hickville and there is no store here that has anything organic and if they do it is twice the price as anywhere else. I wish they had Whole Foods stores every where.
Michael Pollan the author talks about..........The way we eat has changed more in the past 50 years than it has in the previous 10,000 years. Birds are now raised and killed in half the time they were 50 years ago, but now they are twice as big.......does that make sense? Also they had the founder and CEO of the Chipotle restaurants talk because that is a restaurant/fast food place that uses mostly fresh and and all natural meat......so Amy you liking that place is not so bad because they use local fresh/organic veggies, beans, and all natural meat....more than any other fast food place in the country.
Some of Michael's food rules are:
1. Don't eat anything your great-grandmother would not recognize as food.
2. Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third grader cannot pronounce.
3. Eat only foods that eventually rot. Like Twinkies will not rot.....food is alive and should die.
4. Do you want to pay for real food or do you want to pay the doctor later for your health problems. The less we spend on food the more we spend on health care.
5. The lowfat kick made everyone fat.....to take out the fat in food they had to put more sugar in.
6. Cooking your own food from scratch is key.
7. The consumer really is the biggest voice behind if there will be change because the food industry will do what the people demand. We all can vote with our forks....we get three votes a day. Vote for food that has been sustainably/humanly grown.
8. Eat meat that itself has eaten well.

This is bullcrap. There are 6 billion people in the world and you WANT EVERYONE TO EAT ORGANIC? It's called moderation. the only reason goats are the number one meat is that all the thrid world countries eat it and they are th eones with the lowest life expectancy. Explain that. And yes I saw the movie. Did you notice that
