Food, Inc. -7

This was an indelicate subject made with surprising delicacy, thanks especially to a compellingly rational lead talking-head, Eric Schlosser. The glaring weakness was the lack of a two-sided argument: none of the big food companies that were vilified – Monsanto, Perdue, Tyson, etc. – were willing to be interviewed, which left me to wonder if there might be another side to the story of the Indiana seed cleaner who was being put out of business through legal harassment. Nevertheless, seeing where your hamburger meat and chicken breasts come from made me feel good about dining at Heartland last week and encouraged me to seek out farmers’ markets for all the cooking I don’t do.
