6. I want to see this
I have read so many books on the subject, like "Omnivore's Dilemma" and "Fast Food Nation" over the years that I seriously doubt any of this will surprise me. I finally had to stop reading articles about Monsanto's tactics because I was becoming so angry. If there is a corporation on this planet that should cease to exist and it's leadership prosecuted, it is Monsanto.

It is sad that there is the perception in our country that to eat healthy is to be wasteful and extravagant (I am not wading into the debate over whether eating healthy is more expensive than not, I accidentally derailed an entire discussion by stating an opinion on that one time).

It is definitely a class thing. And a cultural one. I have had someone look at me with total disgust when they found out I shopped at the local food co-op; she said that was simply too expensive! And I have to admit that a white flour and off-brand lunch meat shopping list would be less expensive than my list.

This movie needs to be promoted in a major way. A lot of people have no idea what they are eating. Once I found out, I was changed forever.
