Saw Food Inc. Today

So I know I'm one of the non-targeted audience, i.e. the already converted, but I still found a lot of the movie upsettting.  I don't know if it's b/c I'm going to be a mom on Wednesday, but I saw so much of it through the perspective of a protective mom, and I got so emotional it was almost embarrassing.  I'm going to chalk it up to hormones, but damn I am like, "we're never eating crappy meat again!!"  Too often I let it go if we're at a restaurant or something.

I also felt super guilty b/c I am clearly so privileged to be able to eat the way I do.  I don't think I'll ever take that for granted now.  Okay, I'm getting teary again--this is getting ridiculous!  Just wanted to tell everyone that it's a pretty good documentary.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.  I definitely want to see it but I know I'll definitely feel sick to my stomach about some things.  It is really hard to control the food when you eat out, especially meat.  I don't know of any places around me that serve organic or free range meat.  I know Chipotle has some stuff but I don't think they guarantee all of the supply is free range, etc.

i hate when movies don't get widely shown!  fandango said there's nowhere around me showing it and it won't let me see or change the 'search range' or whatever!  boooo!!

i am almost a bit scared to see this. i am worried it will turn me into the kind of person who literally can't eat in a restaurant or at other people's houses... but i do want to see it.

oh and don't discount those pregnancy hormones. the week before I gave birth I started crying over a steel drum band outside of an ikea...

same as a PP - I really *want* to see it....but I'm scared to see it because I know it will necessitate changing my eating habits (for the better, but change is always hard).

Ha ha... the steel drum crying is about where I'm at!!
