Days 129 & 130
See King Corn!
King Corn and Food, Inc. appeal to me more than Earthlings or Meet Your Meat because the former two films talk about how all our food is affected and the latter two films only focus on the meat and dairy groups of food.
I’d like to think I do this blog to help inform all people about all their eating habits, meatless or not. Giving up meat is, I believe, a positive step towards healthier eating but not a cure-all. One must look closely at what else they are consuming. High fructose corn syrup is not something one should put in their body on a daily or even weekly basis.
Also, don’t forget the current blog poll, “Are zoos as a whole good or bad for animals?”, is only up for four more days. Look for it on the right side of this page and please vote if you have not already done so.
Talk to you soon!

Have you seen Food, Inc?
Day 75
Seen Food, Inc yet? I purchased a copy earlier this week and just watched it today. It confirmed a lot of things about the food industry that I have recently heard, but still managed to shock me here and there. I recommend this movie to everyone, not just vegetarians or vegans, but everyone. We all have to eat and we should know what is in our food, where it comes from and how it is made.
Here is the trailer:
More movies on this subject wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Talk to you soon!

A Graphic Novel About Fast-food?!
Day 45
The director of the acclaimed documentary, “Super Size Me” is spearheading a new fast-food related project that will be released in May. It’s not another film—it’s a graphic novel and it’s being released by the wonderful folks at Dark Horse Comics!
Here is the solicit information:
“SUPERSIZED: STRANGE TALES FROM A FAST-FOOD CULTURE
Morgan Spurlock (W), Jeremy Barlow (W), Lukas Ketner(A), Tony Milionaire (A), Ron Chan (A), Ron English (Cover), and others
On sale May 5
FC, 88 pages
$12.99
TPB, 6" x 9"
Do you dare find out what’s happening behind the counters of your neighborhood fast-food joint? Then grab a bucket and dive into one of the creepiest graphic novels of the year! Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an entertaining—and at times gut-wrenching—series of stories focusing on America’s ubiquitous and potentially destructive fast-food culture. A perfect companion to Super Size Me, the graphic novel will bridge the gaps between humor, fact, and heart, while peering behind the scenes of the fast-food world.
• Written by Morgan Spurlock with writer Jeremy Barlow and drawn by a variety of creators, Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an original graphic-novel companion to the Academy Award–nominated movie and expands on some of the bizarre stories not featured in the original film.
• The creative brain trust behind The Simpsons chose Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, 30 Days, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?) to direct the Simpsons’ twentieth- anniversary documentary.”
Sounds very interesting. I may just buy a copy. What a cool way to inform the public about the fast-food they gobble on a daily basis.
