King Corn

My wife and I watched another documentary last night. (http://www.kingcorn.com) You'd think we would be getting tired of these. We are. But my motivation to continue down the track of healthy is also motivated.

The movie made me mad. Focusing on Iowa, showed that the farmer is growing more food than any precious generation before, but it's inedible. And the only way fir the farmers to make it financially is with government subsidies. But this is all related to growing a crop that is built around yield rather than nutrition.

Gone are the days of family farms where you grow what you eat. It's become pretty clear to me that the farming/food industry is controlled by big business, chemical companies and the government. It's really pretty crazy actually.

And all they are worried about is the almighty dollar...not your and my health.... Something to consider...
