  King Corn

  If you're interested in the far-reaching effects of HFCS, watch "King Corn". It's an enjoyable "feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, nitrogen fertilizers, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises questions about how we eat -- and how we farm." The film project is spurred by a hair analysis that leads the two friends to discover that their bodies are mostly made of corn and corn products. They expose the very real threats of how HFCS leads to diabetes. Funny, enlightening, and objective--but afterwards you'll want to stop drinkning soda.  http://www.kingcorn.net/ On The FDA sat on evidence of mercury-tainted high-fructose corn syrup posted 10 months ago 13 Responses

  Best Biodynamic Book

  Everyone should read "Secrets of the Soil : New Solutions for Restoring Our Planet" by Tompkins and Bird. The narrative writing style takes a little getting used to, but 400-pager is packed with blow-your-mind information. The research is thorough and backs up Steiner's clairvoyant messages with hard science. On The dirt on biodynamic and 'authentic' wines posted 1 year ago 7 Responses
