Can anyone help me find a way to contact Food Inc people. My daughter is doing her science fair project on organic vs non organic foods. I thought having Food Inc playing in the background would also be an eye opener to those attending the Science Fair and I want to be sure this is ok and if there is any other materials she might utilize in this project they could direct us to.
Thanks for anyone’s assistance

Hi Susan! I read your post on the Lehigh Valley Food Coop. Great photos of your food too. I see the coffee is organic. You might want to make sure it is also certified Bird Friendly, or at least shade grown. It looks like your co-op is growing and successful. You are indeed fortunate to have it. We have been trying to get a co-op started here for a couple of years, but with the economy it is a tough job.

Right after I watched this movie I was lucky enough to discover our local food coop. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to completely eliminate grocery stores, but I’m going to give it a shot!

I don’t drink soda ever. Plain water is the best drink.

Take a look at John Stossel’s (from 20/20) book, “Lies, Myths, and Downright Stupidity.” It is eye-opening.

Hi Michael – Did you read my post, “Plastic Makes You Fat”? It may not all be food choices. Especially when you have to explain obese 8 month old babies that have only breast fed. But the biggest contributor as I have written many times is soda, even diet soda.

Hi BK – We need to make industrialized food price reflect it’s true cost, not the artificially low cost. But yes, you are correct, people choose and who can be blamed for choosing the lower cost food. Sad.

Thanks so much for highlighting this so very important film. If we don’t change our food habits, and if food manufacturers don’t change their practices, we will be in deep doo-doo. We actually already are, but it will just only continue to get worse. For instance, obesity in the U.S. is at alarming proportions, and it’s all the result of food practices as outlined in Food, Inc. Here’s an article on obesity in the U.S.:

I missed this documentary when it was showing in the theater. I guess I will have to find a way to rent this. Actually, my friend and I was also discussing if this will really change the way people are eating. He was asking if people really have a choice especially when in the supermarket the cheaper ones are usually those produced by industrial farming. The question are “Are people willing to pay a higher price for safer produce? And how can we convince them that the cheaper options are bad for their healths?” End of the day, we agreed on one thing, no matter what, people do have a choice and it is a matter of if they want to exercise that choice.
