There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America — a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat.
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.
Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.
Created by Deborah Koons Garcia and Lily Films, The Future of Food is the first of a series of documentaries Lily Films plans to produce dealing with the current issues influencing our food, environment and agriculture.

The USDA wants to sterilize our vegetables! Ahhhhh!!!!! And it will hurt organic and sustainable farming too so TAKE ACTION PLEASE!

PS – “Raw” almonds may not actually be raw since the USDA started requiring pasteurization of almonds on September 1st 2007 so don’t think that there’s no way they would do it. Info on almonds: http://www.newstarget.com/022035.html
Most of the time I feel like this doesn’t help much but it also can’t hurt. Eventually this sort of thing will reach a sort of critical mass that the companies can’t ignor. Buying power people!
Next summer I’m going to try and start a garden and I plan on getting a local CSA program (consumer supported agriculture) for organic fruits and veggies since I don’t know for sure how much I will garden (and if I overproduce I’ll can for winter anyway.) Check out http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ for a CSA farmer near you.
Just thought I would share some info. 🙂
Hilary, thanks for your comments.
I’ve been on the Almond bandwagon for awhile now
