This is a line I use often in discussions about our future - 'we must not forget'... we must not forget what has happened in order that we have a chance that we might work to improve things... but while we are hell bent on 'our own lives' we can justify destruction and slavery at every turn. This doco is for everyone who eats and lives in the modern world.
We MUST be prepared to PAY properly for food that is grown sustainably - while we demand cheap we will only get what we have been getting: a system that keeps justifying destruction and slavery in order to supply you with cheap food.
If you ever grown a lettuce you will KNOW that the few dollars that you pass the the supermarket for a lettuce is not enough to cover the cost for a farmer to grow it and while they are having to make cheap (because that is what you demand) they will cut corners for short term profit... destroying the land and providing you with hollow food. Vote with your money pay the right price! We choose our future in every choice.
This is a wonderfully brave documentary that opens the door to the reality of our commodity food system... I hope all who view it will take the time to dig even deeper and support local growers who support the earth.
Thank you Yasi and all involved in making this!
