Food Inc.: lemme pimp it a moment.

So this morning I did 20 minutes of power yoga with Rodney Yee (LOVE the Yee), plus a 40-minute walk with Mary B (love the B as well, but she's not available in convenient DVD form yet).  (Am working on a bad rap song with "The T to The G with The Yee and The B...."  Yeah, not so much.)  So SWEET, I'm set for the day -- can eat 4 or, let's face it, 6 scones (King Arthur Flour cranberry orange -- fresh out the oven, oh yeah) and have a glass (+?) of wine while watching the Project Runway final finale tonight.  Did I mention SWEET?  Thank God I'm not too busy at work.

So Mary B was telling me about this great documentary, Food, Inc. that she watched last night.  I looked it up and it's by the author of Fast Food Nation.  Now Mary and I have had these chats before, and the more I find out, the more I really hate what large corporations have done to our food in this country in the last 50 years or so.  I've finally gotten to the point where I only shop the outside of the supermarket, and think that I'm really going to have to bite the bullet and only buy organic or local from now on.  I think you will too if you watch this video.  Mary said that she plans to expand her garden after watching the movie, and I'm sure I will too.  (I've actually still got food in my backyard to harvest -- will be using spinach and fennel from my garden this weekend.  Wish me luck.)

ANYhoo, here's the video trailer for Food, Inc., in case you're interested.
