If you haven’t seen the film “Food Inc” yet, I suggest you go and see it.  It will outline the true cost of the foods you buy and consume on a daily basis.  It has been said by the author of book entitled “The Value of Nothing” that a fast food burger actually costs $200 USD if you factor in the damage it does to the environment as well as the impact that burger has on your health.  Food Inc outlines how and why organics and healthy food is priced way higher than fast food, chips and chemically altered foods.  And more importantly, the film gives suggestions on what we can do about it.

Other films of a similar topic include “King Corn” and “The Future of Food”.  These as well as Food Inc can probably be found at your local library (if they lend out DVDs) or at some video stores.
