Food for Thought, a Cinema Series
This series will feature three documentary films focusing on various aspects of the food industry. If you eat food, these films are a must-see!
The Future of Food by Deborah Koons Garcia
The film offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. The Future of Food examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. This film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.
Sweet Misery – a Poisoned World by Cori Brackett
This film is a compelling documentary that exposes the real dangers of aspartame and how it became FDA approved. Ironically, aspartame complaints now represent 80-85% of all food complaints registered with the FDA. Aspartame is known to erode intelligence and adversely affect short-term memory, yet it is in thousands of commonly ingested food products.
Super Size Me – a Film of Epic Portions by Morgan Spurlock
In his Sundance award-winning documentary, Spurlock puts his own body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald’s for an entire month. Spurlock’s film is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.
