July Food Co-op & Food Inc

Food, Inc, rated PG, is a eye-opening film-I was able to see it today at the Broadway theaters. Some critics have said, "If you eat food, you should see this film". I agree.

At the end of the film we are given some pro-active answers on ways we, the consumers, can change the big picture through the mediums in which we purchase and eat food by means of simple steps.

One step is to buy local-as through the food co-op.
