King Korn - "Compelling Documentary on Farming and our Nation’s Food System

[1] OK friends, I know - I’m on a roll. But you know how it is, you find yourself obsessed with something and you want more and more. Well, in researching the use of [2] cloned animals in food product piece for you, it really all started with my viewing of [3] "King Korn" and my need to know more about subsidized farming and our food system.
King Korn is an excellent documentary — funny and informative — about 2 college buddies, [4] Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, who set out for a typical cross country trip. But when they got to the Midwest realized that all the corn in those vast fields was not sweet corn but the beginnings of highly [5] processed food. These guys decided to move out there and, well — start farming!
With the help of locals and genetically altered seed, these guys see first hand how subsidized farming works and raised questions about how and what Americans eat. You can check out the trailer and the directors on [6] YouTube. Also interesting is a farmer’s reaction to the documentary on [7] YouTube as well. Bottom line, this movie made me more aware to the amount of high-fructose corn syrup that is in virtually every processed food out there and [8] high-fructose corn syrups’ link to obesity and Type II diabetes.
All we can do is read our food labels and try eliminating this stuff from our diets.
Namaste,"
