Farmageddon



You will feel outraged after watching this documentary.

We've all seen Food Inc. (and if you haven't, go watch it now!) about where our food comes from and how it is processed. It probably made you a frequent shopper at the local farmer's market, or at the very least made you look at that cheeseburger you're holding a little differently, Monsanto became a name you despise, and the FDA and USDA are not really your friends anymore. As you shun the corporate food industry, you go in search of small family farms for sustenance. Alas, they are expensive and hard to find.

Farmageddon will tell you why.

The atrocities inflicted on family farms across the U.S. will leave you appalled and confused. Why was a peaceful family full of kids restrained at gunpoint? Was the raid really necessary? Whose interest is at the heart of the FDA and USDA after all?

And most importantly, as posed by Joel Salatin, the owner of Polyface Farms who also appeared in Food Inc., "What is it about freedom that is so horrendous to you [FDA and USDA] that you are willing to take my property, take my life, take my customers, take my animals, take my land, that you're willing to do this in order for me to not have a freedom to even sell a pork chop to my neighbor?"

If you are subscribed to Netflix, this documentary can be streamed from there.

Watch and ask yourself: how much freedom do you really have in choosing health?
