Watch the trailer and then go get the movie. This may be the easiest, most potent and visceral way to have a peak behind the veil of the corporate food production machine that rules over us, ravishes our environment, makes us sick, squeezes out our last pennies, systematizes cruelty to animals, exploits the dispossessed (the immigrant, the minority), pollutes our land and water, co-opts our government, secures intellectual property rights to the genetic codes of life, squashes out all competition (the family farmer, the tradesman) through massive legal and financial resources, homogenizes culture, destroys the diversity and abundance of species of flora and fauna, burns ungodly amounts of fossil fuels released as carbon into the atmosphere, creates a nation of addicts strung out on empty calories… all so that you can get “cheap” “food” at your local supermarket.
Find out why this system actually ends up creating the least healthy, least flavorful, least satisfying food at the highest possible cost to this planet. Realize that you have been caught in the Matrix, the real one, and that it is time to wake up. Realize that you have been taken in by a sophisticated and extremely powerful education system sponsored by the corporate media that is specifically designed to hide the dark side of this matrix and to cause you to live in a virtualized cultural dream world, sanitizing and irradiating the sick truth, wrapping it up in plastic, and serving it to you with a smile.
This may be as inconvenient a truth as that of global warming, and equally as important. It must be faced. Can you really, now that you know, remain a passive participant in global systems of cruelty and environmental devastation? Can you explain that to your children?
