Say No to GMO Movie Review: Food Inc.
My family and I watched the documentary Food Inc. This is a subject that I am passionate about and this film is very eye opening and thought provoking. Now I have been following the whole GMO and rbgh subjects for a long time, as well as the battle we all need to be fighting with regard to high fructose corn syrup and the evil empire that is Monsanto, but this movie is more than that. This puts a face to the subject. It makes you want to respect your food before you eat it. It makes you want to think about what you are putting in your body and the far reaching consequences that eating certain foods may have. We watched this together with our two daughters and we stopped at several points during the movie to discuss things like how they have changed what a chicken is or what they have done to manipulate seeds. My kids are changed. We went to the store for a few things after dinner and they started reading lables! Do yourself a favor. Watch this movie, buy it or rent it or borrow it. I bought mine from Amazon for $10.00. I know that you can watch it one time on Itunes for $3.99 or purchase it there for $14.99. Go rent it from blockbuster, where I am sure it will be available. You can check out their website at www.foodincmovie.com You can also check out their resource site at www.takepart.com/foodinc. You can also view the trailer for this film here on Youtube. I hope you watch this important film. I hope you take away from it what me and my family did. Something has to …
Amen to that! That movie was excellent in portraying the truth of how government run food industry IS. I was utterly disgusted when watching. Thanks for getting the word out.
1This movie is on Netflix watch it now.
2I made me bump up how much I plan to grow in my garden.
Noreen, I found you after getting hooked on watching your garden’s progress. I, too, loved Food Inc. and have seen it twice. But, I hope you’re inspired to do something I now find myself painstakingly doing… changing my recipes! Dump cakes made without genetically modified, bleached flours? Meatballs made w/ humane ingredients? It’s hard… But food today just isn’t what it used to be. So all those shortcuts my parents and grandparents sought… I now need to throw out the window!
3Thank you for posting this video.
4Great Video
Remember, Monsanto is actively brain washing farmers. Monsanto is making them think they will spend less money to grow GMO food and there for realize more profits.
The Family farmer is starving out there. They are very hard workers who get very little money.
But, if the farmer produced what the consumer wants, the consumer will pay. But the farmer is being deceived on a daily basis. The have sold out to A middle men and it is killing us all.
5Thank you Noreen. I went and got the video and man…i plan to spread the word and change my lifestyle in these areas! You always bring great awareness to important issues that alot of us are too busy to think about. I’m going to slow down too. Life is too short…if not for us…lets do it for our children and their children. Thanks again Noreen!
6is it me or is there popcorn popping in the background of this clip? LOL! too funny
180% agree with her! just watched the film myself. such vital info!
7Thanks Noreen, Gonna go get the movie.
8I have not seen this movie, but I will.
Great video! Thanks for posting!
9I wish I could. I live in the city and our mayor doesnt alow us to have our own chickens but, god willing one of these days I will win the lottery and have my own farm with a winterized green house.
10Knowledge is power! We are responsible for our own health. Things like this is why we have the health problems we do.
I vote with my money. Although I’m already on this “wagon” I’ll get a copy of this to share with my friends.
For those worried about costs, it’s cheaper once you learn the wheres and whats. Plus you’ll literally feel better. Be aware of the detox effect when removing addicting items from your diet. You could feel worse initially but so much better later.
11Don’t be discouraged. Find someone who is raising chickens and work something out with them. We have our own hens but we’ll help others butcher theirs for some of the meat. Or find someone who can have animals on their properties and go into some sort of partnership. There are co-ops in areas doing this type of stuff already.
12If people only knew how easy and fun it was to keep chickens, ducks, guinea hens, etc. They would all do it. Its not fun to kill them for food but at least you know exactly what went into them and that you gave them the best possible life. You naturally end up eating less meat because it is very hard to decide which of your birds is going to go in the pot. Its easy going to the grocery store and picking up those plastic wrapped meat packs. When you have to take the animals life its WAY different
13!!!!!!!!HEIRLOOM SEEDS!!!!! just having a garden isn’t enough.The plants and seeds you buy at the store are GMO’s and have suicide genes in them so you can’t harvest and replant.
I haven’t seen the movie or know if it talks about this but please buy heirloom seeds, the price is initially a bit higher but the seeds are renewable year after year. And contain no GMO’s!!!!!!!!!!!
14just rented it and watched it…..thank you so very much….
15Absolutely ((((GREAT))) video lady! I started canning almost 3 years ago now because I could NOT find strawberry jam without HFCS. For me it snowballed from there. If I can’t find our favorite foods without garbage in it , list too long to print, then I make it from scratch. We almost never eat out anymore because not much worth eating. I just told my husband last night that we must fight for our childrens health. If everyone just did something.
16Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. The film really does make you open your eyes to what is going on with our food. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by what is going on and organic food cost. But even a little can help. Not buying processed food is a good place to start at. Making your own food taste nice and saves money too. Try to keep to your GDA

17Personaly I wish I could afford to live in the country. I have been keeping my fingers crossed as much as I can. I have a garden in my front yard and in my back yard. However, we are not aloud to have any farm animals in our back yard. I wish we could keep our own chickens. I think it is important for us all to grow our own food but, there is so many people in this world that we simply can not. Newer houses dont even have enough room for a garden.
18the bad thing about change is cost. if they companys change the way the do things. They will make us pay more. We in canada cant always eat locally. I bought some tomatoes and the sticker on the tomatoe said mexico. we have to get our tomatoes all the way from mexico just to have tomatoes. I grow some tomatoe plants in the winter and the neighbours called the cops on me and said I had a grow opp going on. They were just tomatoe plants.
19Thank you for posting this.
20Wow I told my husband yesterday we need to research more on this, so I thank you for recommending this. Now we start our search. I bought over 200 pks seeds at walmart last year.I will only now by from our health food store even if its triple the price. Thank you and God bless
21I haven’t seen it yet. I wrote my master’s thesis on the regulatory framework surrounding gmos for use in animal and human feed….unbelievable isn’t it. It is no conspiracy theory. It is FACT. We have given our right to food away for convenience. Great vid.
22@Yankeeprepper I agree Yankee, there is NO mistake why it is so expensive to eat well. That is what they want. They want us fat and happy, dumb and brainwashed! They don’t want us to read lables, because we might start to question what is in the foods we are eating. When I watched this film and watched the seed cleaner have to be deposed by Monsanto, I watched a man have his livelyhood taken from him and I watched him betray his friends because he felt he had no choice. It is very sad!
23I agree! I saw a little of this on Oprah..and havent rented it yet, but Im very concerned about what is being done with our food..and how it is affecting us and our children!! How that the food industy..are all about the money!
24I am glad you watched this movie Noreen. While we as a culture are distracted with the BS storm around. Something much more sinister is taking place. They will have us begging for a morsel of this poison in the end.
Self sufficiency is key and voting with what you buy. The problem is, the ones that are awake are very few.
It is not by mistake that it is much more expensive to eat right, “they” want you just smart enough to shuffle papers and dig ditches.
