cheap Air Max 24-7 The Future of Food Do you reall |

Produced in: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] United States
Directed by: Deborah Koons Garcia
Deborah Koons Garcia’s 2005 documentary takes the complex scientific, regulatory, legal, ethical, environmental, and consumer issues revolving around food production and boils them down into easy-to-understand language that everyday consumers can understand. And the boiled-down message isn’t two-sided. Although the documentary’s stance is purposely intended to oppose huge multinational corporations seeking to control the world's food system, requested interviews with corporations like Monsanto (the multinational seed and pesticide giant) were ignored.

In the spirit of investigative exposés like Fast Food Nation and Supersize Me, The Future of Food (official [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], IMDB) delves into the importance of being informed and aware that the food choices we make today will greatly impact our futures. The documentary presents an extremely detailed case against genetically engineered crops and investigates the disturbing reality that these unlabeled, patented foods have been stocked in local grocery stores since the early 1990s.
While the scientific parts of the film are a bit dry and sometimes hard to follow, the frightening aspect of what is happening to our food — and the farmers we rely on to grow it — is not. Garcia gets the message across through poignant interviews with farmers and agricultural experts who all warn of the controversial and devastating effects genetically engineered crops will have on current and future generations.
