You can watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/v/c2sgaO44_1c&hl=en&fs=1 There is also a book companion to the movie, Food, Inc. available at Amazon.com. The book explores topics that were discussed in the movie, such as the industrialization of our food supply and the benefits of local and organic eating. Food experts including Marion Nestle, Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan, and Anna Lappé, take these topics to another level through thirteen fascinating essays, some of which have been written especially for this book.

Combine the ‘Today Show’ with a FOX reality series by Slacker http://www.mediaslackers.com/blog/2009/05/08/how-do-we-save-gm-and-chrysler-combine-the-today-show-with-a-fox-reality-series/comment-page-1/#comment-2826 Slacker Sun, 10 May 2009 20:16:55 +0000 http://www.mediaslackers.com/blog/?p=744#comment-2826 Well that would be appropriate of FOX, hence my sarcasm in the post. However, The Onion produces fake news to mock the "real" news industry and does, as you've found out, a wonderful job of making us believe it in these times of folly and feigned morality (by FOX and others). It is unfortunate that the "fake" news and "real" news are so hard to tell apart these days. Well that would be appropriate of FOX, hence my sarcasm in the post.
