Film: FOOD INC

Wednesday, September 15 at 7:00 pm

Ames Library, Beckman Auditorium

All are welcome!

The film lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, examining costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact.  We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that will not go bad — BUT we also have new strains of E. coli, widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic of diabetes among adults. Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto), along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield’s Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms’ Joel Salatin, Food Inc. reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it is produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.  For more information please visit www.foodincmovie.com/
