'Food Matters' is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation.

Pseudoscience destroys a good message

The overall message of the film- that our food supply is in bad shape and that our dietary habits are contributing to our current health crisis - is one that I believe in whole-heartedly. However, making that argument with a bunch of new-age mumbo-jumbo pseudoscience mixed with a sprinkling of real facts as this film does is counterproductive. It just makes it that much easier for the giant corporations, medical establishment and public at large to dismiss these questions and continue destroying the world's farmlands and our collective health. Go watch "Food Inc." instead if you wish to find out what is wrong with the world's food supply and what can be done to fix it.
