Kim, if you revisit this thread that is now somewhat old, the two Detroit News links I provided earlier are links to stories about CAFO operations.

Cows are not intended to eat corn. Feeding them the way that this antecdotal example does is the reason for the deadly E. coli development intheir guts, which has KILLED people. Also interesting that the only photo hese is of the feed, not the quality of life of those animals. It is a CAFO, and likely is generating poisonous runoff into other agricultural areas.

I agree that this film is a must-see. It is the most eye-opening experience I have had in a while, and already bought organic, range-fed meat. It has inspired me to actively encourage others to do the same. 1 in 2 americans born after 2000 will develop Type II Diabetes?! And the government is subsidizing this lifestyle and this industry which is doing massive and RAPID damage to our health, it's workers' safety, US and foreign farmers and food supplies, and our planet's and children's futures. Please go see it.
The previous commenter apparently has ties to corporate agriculture; maybe even some of the genetically-modified growers. See the film. You will agree.

On a more serious and to-the-point (-or-subject) note:

Part of me would rather volunteer to help the Detroit abandoned-lot gardeners or those working in the DTE substation garden sites (eventually could number over 7,000 locations in southeastern Michigan), but I may actually go watch this movie sometime, Joe. I've been in the Midwest before and am familiar with the fun and follies of companies like IBP, and here around Detroit there are high-intensity feedlots:

There's a place I used to visit when I lived in Upstate New York that had Sunday afternoon lefty-movie matinees as an attraction, and no doubt if they still do it, they'll show this movie. (My favorite there was the showing of "The Corporation.") My DC friend and I may see this next time I'm in DC; we saw Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" together there in the past. No doubt "Food, Inc." will be shown there, too.

The real question — does the movie concentrate on demonizing industry in the USA, or does it engage in more broad-minded thought (which isn't indicated by the advertising and current commentary about it, as well as by the behavior of the “food activists”) and discuss food products and their adulteration and other problems (like microbial contamination and chemical poisoning) that come here from … China?

(Works for pharmaceuticals, too. Take some bird or animal droppings, dry them and grind them and then compress them into suitable shapes, apply mystery food coloring as needed…)

"sighing, wincing, and clucking over the manifold outrages"

[snicker]

In a public theater, or in a private screening in Hollywood or at a Manhattan cocktail party?

[snicker]

"Bring your kids if you have them. Bring someone else’s kids if you don’t."

That's a cue for "food education" [sic] similar to "nuclear education" [sic] in the 1980s.

Corporations evil. Republicans evil. Our military and nuclear energy XXXXXXXXXX Modern agriculture evil. American way of life evil. Our adversaries are superior.

Again, beware the over-bashing of “corporate food” or Big Food and note that this nation and society don't need a “food policy,” which smacks of PC totalitarianism, but merely reform of long-existant federal and other government interventionsm and meddling in agriculture (“agricultual reform” or “- policy reform”). No, we don't want government promotion of “localvore” faddishness as “serious” policy, sin taxes on snack and other foods and drinks and constituents (like the demon high fructose corn syrup), but rather sensibility.

“slick documentary stylings of “An Inconvenient Truth'”

Perhaps to the sucker set, but to intelligent, normal people this Convenient Religion of Global Warming tome is idiotic (when not intentionally deceptive-manipulative) irresponsible alarmism. (No wonder the PC morality-free crowd loves it so much.)
