What’s for dinner?
If you’re like most Americans, it’s probably chicken, beef or pork from a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), those huge factory farms with, say, 10,000 hogs—enough to produce as much waste in one day as a town of 25,000 people, according to the Sierra Club. And that’s just the start of the nation’s food-production troubles, since Big Farming alternately involves genetically modified crops or things like water pollution, air pollution, fossil fuel use and economic woes.
The new documentary Food, Inc., from filmmaker Robert Kenner—which has a Missoula premier August 14 at the Wilma Theatre, at 7 p.m.—features noted food experts and gives a close-up view of how the food we eat is gnawing at our health. (For a NewWest.net review, click here.)
