"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history." -Cardinal Francis George

"Fresh" documentary available free until Saturday, March 3rd.

"Fresh" documentary available free until Saturday, March 3rd. Joel Salatin is featured. I havent seen it yet but it looks to be good. See it here. Also highly recommended is Food, Inc. I think it can be seen full length on You Tube with a little looking.

    Oops deleted my own comment! We just watched this the other night and really enjoyed it. We'd be curious to know what you think of it. We'll have to check out Food, Inc. as well...

    Food, Inc is well worth seeing. If you have Netflix, it is on watch instantly, or you can probably look on YouTube for a multi-part version.

    There are just a couple side-tracks that are unnesesary. One is a side story about a family with a diabetic dad that is *forced* to go through the drive thru to get sodas and fries because veggies are too expensive. Phooey! Conventional ground beef is 2.50 a pound. Potatoes and rice are basically free they are so cheap. There is always something green for a reasonable price at the market compared to even the cheapest fast food. I made chili for my family last night for about 10 bucks with 3 Lbs of meat plus veggies. There are even lots of leftovers. So for the $14 bucks the guy spent at Burger King, I could have went to his local grocery store and fed his family good (better) food. So the whole side story is off topic from the main problem of the industrialized food system and low quality food, etc.

    Overall it is a really polished, and good movie though.

    Finally watched Food, Inc...totally agree with your comment about the diabetic family, David. It was really out of place and although it is true that fast food is ridiculously cheap, I don't think that eating well has to cost an arm and a leg. Maybe you won't be able to eat gourmet exotic veggies but definitely something of higher quality than BK. Overall we really enjoyed it though. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Fresh was good. Not as polished as Food Inc, but followed a similar plot. And it had more Joel Salatin screen time, which I think is a good thing.
