Food Matters 2008

Food Matters (2008)     A documentary examining American food, the conclusion is reached that were are over-industrializing our food production.  Our health care costs are rising every day and are we becoming sicker every day because of what we eat?  Check any ingredient list on a package and look at the chemical additives in "natural" foods.  We are eating more and getting less in the way of nutrients.
     Doctors go to medical school but they are not taught nutrition.  Americans are cautioned not to take too many vitamins but how many people have died from vitamin overdose?  How many have died from from drug side effects and drug overdoses?  Pharmaceutical companies influence doctors and people, what is their profit bottom line for a year?  If we started taking vitamins, eating better and could we be healthier without drugs?  4* (I really liked this movie)

80 min, Doc directed by James Colquhoun, Carlo Ledesma with Vicky Blewitt, Ian Brighthope, Jerome Burne, Phillip Day, Matthew Foster, Charlotte Gerson, Jamie Hunt.

Note:  Blockbuster 4*, imdb 7.7 out of 10, no critic review 78% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
