yesterday, my suggestion was to go see a film to indoctrinate you into conscious eating only to read in today's paper that Heifer Project has replaced FOOD, INC. with a documentary triple feature about bees. i am cool with bees. i have looked into some local bee keeping classes and someday would like to have a couple bee hives, so this isn't a terrible bait and switch. FOOD, INC. is showing at Market Street cinema today at 1:45, 4 & 6:45, their website is down so i can't tell you if this documentary will play through next week. i have a call into Market Street to find out. OK, here's the 411 on why Heifer is not showing FOOD, INC. this sunday: the distributors of the film asked Heifer not to show it while it is currently being shown in a paying market. the anonymous Heifer source did tell me that FOOD, INC. will be part of the fall free moo-vie (yes, moo-vie) series. Every Third Bite, Pollen Nation and Seeds, Hope and Concrete are the 3 documentary short films that will show this sunday at 3pm. i still plan to go to the bee triple play and you should too.

FOOD, INC. i don't read full synopsis or reviews of movies. i like the ride. here, i am recommending you see a film that i don't know that much about. i could go into food is energy, (not that kind of caloric energy or fuel for the body) but energy as in the, we are all made of energy, the interconnectedness of everything and conscious eating (eating less, being aware of where your food comes from, the treatment of food animals, poisons/pesticides in the environment), but i will leave that to Kathy Freston and her book Quantum Wellness. you can check out her views and listen to her at oprah.com, at the soul series, at http://www.oprah.com/article/spirit/inspiration/pkgoprahssoulserieswebcast/20080915_oaf_oss_archive/2 thank you VADBooher for the oprah link!
check out part 2 of her discussion with O, it pertains to this topic more. i am not saying become a vegetarian or a vegan, but at the very least buy your meat with a conscience. say NO to factory farms.
back to the documentary FOOD, INC.
