I know I’m a little late, but I finally got around to watching Food Inc. yesterday. I thought it was amazing, not as controversial as it could have been but just enough so that might get people to change the way they look at food. Over the past few weeks I’ve been seriously evaluating and changing what I put in my body.

Growing up Oona and I were surround by organic farms and other farmers that still had a connection to and control over their land. After hunting season friends would drop off venison that lasted the entire winter and overall we at well and locally. Since moving to Chicago all of that has changed for me. For many reasons my diet changed drastically and I’m beginning to feel the effects of those choices, needless to say I’m not happy. 

For me Food Inc was that finally nudge I needed to jump into a healthy lifestyle completely. This means shopping at the farmers market whenever possible, quitting processed food, saying no to hormones and corn-fed animals and eating organic whenever possible. I know it sounds like a lot and it is. Its more expensive and time consuming but when I think of all the health problems and diseases that have been caused by multinational food companies that put profit before human life, I know its the right thing to do.
