I saw the movie Food Inc. last night. What a great eye opener to all the different facets and trickle down effects of the mechanized food system. As much as I know about the food industry it was still a bit depressing to see it come together on the big screen. On the other hand that was the point, the wider the audience the faster the truth reaches the mainstream consumer!

Cargill, Tyson, IBP, Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto, Smithfield (world's largest meat processing plant Tar Heel, NC pop. 70)
