Friday Faves - Food, Inc.

I had the opportunity to watch "Food, Inc." yesterday and I liked it so much that I am making it my "Friday Fave". With all of the reading I have done on the topic, there wasn't a lot in it that I didn't already know, but having it all together like that really drove home the message.

The information is really well presented and, unlike other docs I have seen on this subject, not full of over-the-top scare tactics. The makers of this film just put it out there on the table, so to speak, and allow you to draw your own conclusions on factory farming, GMOs and the big business that is Food (with a capital "F".)

Mama always said “If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut your gob.” (Nobody ever accused mama of being a saint, but that’s neither here nor there.) That could explain why I have never mentioned McDonald’s in any of my blog posts. Until now.

Did you know…? McDonald's saves 68,000,000 pounds of packaging per year just by pumping soft drink syrup directly from the delivery truck into tanks in the restaurant, instead of shipping the syrup in cardboard boxes!

I’m not even going to mention the fact that…what’s that mama? Oh, right….consider it shut. For now.
