Foodmatters
You are what you eat.
"Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food"
Hippocrates.
If you only watch one doco this year make sure it is Foodmatters. This excellent DVD captures your attention from the outset and does not let go until the credits come up. It shares information, which goes to the heart of our corrupt capatalist industrial state and lets you know whose vested interests are being served by the current state of western health.
Foodmatters gathers together some of the most credible natural health and environmental experts, and allows them to say what they really believe. Andrew W Saul, is most impressive in his dissection of the oligopoly of power, which the pharamaceutical corporations hold over the health industry - medical associations and government departments. Illustrating how the system is set up to create disease, through the production of unhealthy processed foods, and then the doctors come with their scalpels and pills, with little thought or money put into prevention.
Charlotte Gerson talks about the levels of pollution poisoning our communities and the food chain. Australian Professor Ian Brighthope (hopeful by name and by nature?) points out the importance of reversing the current situation before its too late. Nutrition is coming out of the closet in the twenty first century and these crusaders are going to make sure that we know about it. Raw food and intact enzymes- and just how important they are to our bodies. Organic food with all the phytonutrients in place, and conversely, how depleted supermarket food is nutritionally.
One of the most salient points, is that a majority of parents are investing more time and money in bricks and mortar - the security of owning their own home - than they are in feeding their children the most nutritionally rich food available. What sense is there in creating the outer walls of wealth and abundance, if you have neglected their health at the most vital time of their life. These children will grow up with immune systems vulnerable to chronic illness for the rest of their lives.
Foodmatters - You are what you eat - is a well made documentary and was produced by nutritionists, turned film makers, James Colquhuon and Laurentine Ten Bosch. This is the film that may begin the food revolution, with people taking responsibility for what they put in their mouth and demanding governments stop the pharmaceutical companies rorting the health system. With the current economic situation, now is the perfect opportunity to dig up your lawn and get some organic soil to plant your own veggies. Grow your own vitamin source in the backyard or on your balcony - lettuce grows from seed in 3 weeks. Compost your waste and let the cycle of life recycle - go those worms.
Every time you eat cheap fast food, you might think that you are saving money, but in the longer term it costs you more, as your health declines and your quality of life with it. Learn to cook if you cannot, and spend time and money sourcing the freshest ingredients possible. Making good food for you and your family, is the greatest gift that you can bestow upon them. Its a sacred act.
Foodmatters the DVD - five star rating.
