It should be on DVD as of today. You can rent it from Blockbuster. DH brought it home for us to watch last week since he works there so I know they are renting it out.

If you haven't seen it already, this movie is now on DVD. It really is very informative about where your food comes from. I am definitely more into buying organic and local whenever I can now. I love the farmer's market!

Oh I cannot wait to buy the DVD! The movie sickened me so much, but it's really informative and everyone should get a copy.

I got this documentary from Netflix and watched it last week. I would recommend it to anyone concerned about what they are feeding their families. We joined a local farm's CSA group so we are getting our beef, chicken, eggs, and milk straight from the farm. Next spring I'm putting in a garden, and I got a pressure cooker from my Granddad so I have started canning too. I'm also making our bread. Sometime I would like to try and make cheese, although my DH thinks that is a little crazy.

Now that my freezer is stuffed and my pantry is full of all the wrong food, I'm seriously considering going gluten/casein free. I'll also look for this DVD as well. I've been thinking of buying a side of beef, but not sure where to begin with that process.

Joel Salatin of Polyface farms, the really cool farmer who lets his animals graze and kills the chickens in an open air outside building has a nice, big part in Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma.

After seeing Food, Inc., and loving the guy and his attitude about eating fresh, healthily raised food, it was cool to get so much more about his philosophies by reading that book. Pollan actually worked for him for a week to learn all the stuff he does to keep his farm real.

We watched this documentary over the weekend and are going organic in 2010. ESPECIALLY with chicken, beef, fruits and veggies. We're going to try and eat through what we have in our stock but it's REALLY hard to eat the beef after watching it. Now I just need to see how I can still have money by doing the Grocery Game AND buying mostly organics!

I'm having a little dilemma. I am doing my darndest to buy as much organic as possible. Unfortunately our grocery store does not have a huge selection. I'm glad that my list store came out with organics in their store brand, though... saves a lot of money.

Anyway, I'm waiting for the ground beef to go on sale again. I'm getting disappointed with their apple selection as they are always bruised and soft.. Guess I have to stop buying them in bags and buy the individuals instead. I'm not stockpiling meat at all right now because there are no good sales. I just buy it as needed and get the smallest possible package which doesn't effect how much we eat really.

My goal is produce, meat, and dairy organic. The rest my main goal is to buy stuff with as little sugar and junk as possible. Otherwise we eat our usual goodies heh. If something organic goes on sale I'll buy it if it is something we like, but most things we'll will go back to eating our usual brand after we run out of the organic product.

I just hate buying organic apples one week then having to buy regular apples the next.

I rented it a week or so ago. I never knew how horrible it was for the animals. A big difference from when we raised our own on the farm. I may try to change the way I buy meat if I can find a local farmer as a source.
