The Red, White, and Green

Still making plans for tonight? Take a swig of some Pepto-Bismol (or a holistic anti-nausea remedy of your choice) and go see Food, Inc., which opens in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco today (nationwide in July). Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner worked for over six years to bring this film to life, which offers an astonishing — and sometimes horrifying — behind the scenes look at our nation’s food industry. Much like Fast Food Nation (whose author, Eric Schlosser, is interviewed in the movie), Food, Inc. promises to forever change the way Americans view their food.

 
Date night tip: Save dinner for well after the movie, and then hit up a joint that serves local, sustainable fare.
