Product Description

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled patented genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan Canada to the fields of Oaxaca Mexico this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location in the U.S. Canada and Mexico 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. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today. The Future of Food reveals that there is a revolution going on in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat.System Requirements:Running Time: 88 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

5.0 out of 5 stars What America Eats - GMO, January 28, 2008
Informative documentary about our food supply. Includes information about the Genetically Modified food industry, and farmers who try to resist GMO and get sued by corporations. A different DVD which shows the destructive nature of GMO / chemical farming on both the farmers and the soil, ...and shows an active solution taking place in India is "How to Save the World". Watch "The Future of Food" first, and then the enlightening "How to Save the World", for a incredible real world solution that is happening now. Both are entertaining and can educate you on what is really happening to food and farmers in the USA and other countries!

5.0 out of 5 stars Important information for everyone, April 27, 2008
By Sheri Carucci (United States) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Future of Food documents what is currently going on with the food supply in the US. Monsanto, a multinational corporation who was formerly in the pesticide business (agent orange, ddt) is now one of the biggest seed suppliers in the world. And not just any seed, it's genetically engineered for a number of purposes.

Monsanto has been suing farmers who have not bought seed from them but end up with it growing in their fields from no fault of their own. In one very well known case a farmer, Percy Schmeiser, was told by his neighbor that the neighbor's truck had a hole it's tarp and a lot of Monsanto's' 'round up ready' seed was dumped on his field. Monsanto tried to sue him (and many other farmers - google and you'll see links to many of the cases) and he spent his life savings fighting them. He just recently won his case after 10 years!

The film has wonderful and informative interviews with Andrew Kimbrell, director of the center for Food Safety, Fred Kirshenman, a well known sustainable farmer, and a number of experts and scientists who document first off how GE food was pushed on the American people with no disclosure and no testing as well as the devastating potential for destruction with messing with our food supply for profit.

There's a lot we can do. Support small farmers and farmers market's. Join a community supported agriculture program where you get a box of fresh from the field organic fruits and vegetables each week. We also need to demand labeling. Right now we don't know which foods we buy are genetically altered and which aren't. If our food is labeled we can make informed choices.

I highly recommend this film - it's important information for us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mayday....Mayday....ALERT-FOOD DANGER! Most important Movie of our lifetime! , April 19, 2008
By ZIPPER "Woof!" (HOLLYHOUND,OH) - See all my reviews
Do you know that you and your pets eat GMO Food (genetically modified organisms) everyday?
I recently watched "The Future of Food" and believe that everyone NEEDS to watch this movie.

We can't sit around allowing corporations to use us, our pets and our children as lab rats testing out the health effects of GMOs!
I recommend that you step up to the plate and purchase this video today.

I believe this is the real reason the bees are dying off and why allergies are up ten fold!

Remember the recent news about the "Doomsday" Seed Vault? Well, let me tell you, it has a lot more to do with the corporations control on the seeds and you'll figure out the truth about it when you watch this video.

Step out of your paradigm and make it a priority that you watch this film.I don't want to eat it and neither do my dogs. I really mean it people.........Order this Documentary and you will thank me. Inform your friends and family about this movie too! This is more important than that Al Gore propaganda to enslave us in a global carbon tax. THIS SHOULD BE TOP PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE........ SAY NO TO GMO!

TRUST me you will thank me for this. You are what you eat............

He, who controls the seeds, controls the food supply and thus controls the people." -Monsanto
