I’ve been watching The Future of Food tonight on Hulu and its been very eye-opening to learn about the history of farming and how our food production has changed drastically in the past 50 years. Check it out to learn more about farm subsidies, patents, seeds, genetic engineering, genetic diversity, lawsuits, research and the agro-bio-tech industry. It’s insightful (and frightening!) to learn about how our main food crops (corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, etc.) are grown and how large corporations have so much power over the farmers and researchers. You vote every time you purchase something at the grocery store or buy from farmer’s markets, CSA’s, etc.—think about it! How do you vote for your food?
