Safer, healthier food?

Today I spent the afternoon watching a very good documentary about food :
















Tried googling for this documentary and found out that it is listed as one of the 5 final nominees for best documentary in the upcoming 82nd Academy Awards this coming March 2010.

You can get more info about this documentary by visiting wikipedia at this link.

An interesting fact about this film is that the film took three years to make and the film Director Kenner claims that he spent large amounts of his budget on legal fees to try to protect himself against lawsuits from industrial food producers, pesticide and fertilizer manufacturers, and other companies criticized in the film (source : wikipedia)

One of the interesting points that I picked up from this film is the Kevin Michale Kowalcyk case. Another interesting note is that how a chicken rearer developed an antibiotic allergy due to rearing chicken fed/injected with antibiotic...no wonder so many people develop so many allergies nowadays i. e nut allergies, chicken allergies, antibiotic allergies etc..the culprit is form the food we ate which comes from the so called modern agriculture practices and new food technologies...
