Not very proud to be American right now!

Lately I have been doing a lot of soul searching about the way we eat. Reading a lot of blogs, asking a lot of questions and just trying to make decisions that will be healthier for our family. Which lead me to a this movie.
I have heard several people mention the movie Food, Inc. Oprah did a show about it and several friends mentioned it, so I was curious. I just finished watching it and can I say oh My GOSH!

After watching this movie I am outraged because for the first time EVER I am ashamed of the way we live in America. I am ashamed of the way I live in America. I am ashamed that small farmers are being put out of business because they are not conforming to the genetically altered way of eating and growing food. I am ashamed of a government who is not protecting it's citizens from deadly pathogens because they are more concerned with hurting their friends the conglomerate. I am ashamed of my ignorance and urge everyone to question where their food is coming from.

I am scared for my kids! I am afraid of diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer with continue to plague our families, our friends and our neighbors. And why is that? I never really asked myself why more people are sick. Is there a connection here...absolutely! So what is really important here. What is important is the bottom line, which ironically is the flat line because we are all paying the price for it.

Which is why I'm going to change. I'm posting a link to the trailer. Look into watching this movie! It could really change your life.
