Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of the best-reviewed documentaries of 2005 is now available on DVD in this deluxe two-disc edition. There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America, a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. This documentary explores the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. It also examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multi-national corporations seek to control the world's food system. "One of 2005's must-see documentaries" -San Francisco Chronicle.

5.0 out of 5 stars What are People Thinking?, December 15, 2005

By	Paul b (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews

If you live in the US and eat food, you have to see this. If you are not familiar with GM(genetically modified) foods or do not intentionally avoid GM foods, you are probably consuming them. Soy, corn and canola are the main crops being manipulated by the "White Coats".

Deborah Garcia(widow of Jerry Garcia) shows what is going on in the Corporate agriculture world. There must come a point where man says "Haven't we screwed things up enough, is profit more important than what is right and just?"

The corruption that is engulfing the whole agriculture community is unreal. If grown properly and organically there should be no need for fertilizers and pesticides. If the soil is mineral rich than crops should grow unhindered. Read "One Straw Revolution" by Masanobu Fukoka, if you can get your hands on a copy. He explanes thoroughly how to grow crops naturally with as little human intervention as possible.

Thank you Ms Garcia for this enlightening documentary.

5.0 out of 5 stars THAT'S IT!!!, December 21, 2005

By	Francois-hugues (California USA) - See all my reviews

A MUST-SEE! Thank you to Ms Garcia! This is the VERY BEST, most informative and well-done documentary on the matter. The essential is summarized in one place: a DVD that is real easy to follow. It is quite comprehensive. Some very strong reports/interviews from well-known scientists, and testimonials from genuine farmers. Also all the animations are excellent. And the photography is in many places beautiful (especially the part filmed in Mexico). On the top of that, it is also the best documentary I've ever seen, flowing along an amazingly informative path. I highly recommend it for a) those who know about this matter, and b) those who don't know yet about it :~]

5.0 out of 5 stars The Future of Food, October 31, 2005

By	Dorell Meikle - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I believe everyone should see this dvd. If you eat you will want to learn what is going in within our food system; how the very food we eat will soon be taken over and regulated by large food companies who have no interest in supplying us with healthy food, but who do have a interest in completely controlling every aspect of food production and distribution. This is a very educational documentary that every person should see, and then we all need to fight like crazy to keep the regulations of the production of food from falling into the hands of large corporations such as Monsanto.
