Food, Inc.

I was doing a little searching, and I actually found the documentary that was on the Oprah Show that I watched about fast food. It is very interesting, and there is a Food Inc. quiz that you can take to see how much you know about the food that you put into your body.
I think this is relevant to Animal, Vegetable, Miracle because the family in the book decided to only eat food that was grown locally or in their garden; they knew exactly where this food came from and how it was grown.
The whole point of food inc. is to inform people about the food they eat, because many people are unaware of what goes into fast food and food that is purchase at the grocery store.
It is important to eat at least one meal a week that is grown locally, because it reduces oil use! Everyone should take the quiz, and see what you really know about the food that you are eating, you might be quite surprised... I know I was!
Heres the link to the website, there are several pages about the documentary but the food quiz is on the first page.
