"Speaking as someone who was inspired to make substantial dietary changes by both [Schlosser and Pollan]..."
They got you to switch to the all-bourbon diet?

"Not long ago, buying food was a much more involved process — people had relationships with their butchers and grocers."
Too true. Seems like only yesterday your mother had a relationship with the milkman.

I was bitter about it for a long time, too. But your mom and I get a lot of use out of his uniform now. All's well that ends well.

This is more important than alot of the seemingly "more important" issues being tirelessly debated in Washington. How do we start the food revolution? I've know much about the food industry for some time, but I'll still see this film. I hope there's no footage of the terrible cattle conditions and slaughterhouses. I don't need to be shocked into the truth that badly. I saw maybe 10 seconds of such footage elsewhere and it made me sick to my stomach and broke my heart over the treatment of those wonderful animals.
Furthermore...what people believe to be wholesome fruits and veggies they buy in the store, are quite the opposite. I mean, growing SEEDLESS fruits and veggies? SEEDLESS? That's not natural.

There's some slaughterhouse footage, but it's more disquieting than brutally graphic. And you're dead on about produce. I think it's most important to try and buy from local producers.
