Grain Brain - The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killer



by David Perlmutter, MD a board-certified neurologist.

 Excited to read and a tad anxious as well. I'm certain that once I finish the last chapter, I will never look at "what's on my plate" the same way again.

Food Inc. Chicken Farmer…five years later

Excerpts from "Take Part" post: "Food Inc" Chicken Farmer Goes Rogue - Says Goodbye to Factory Farming

Carole Morison (Chicken Farmer featured in Movie): Becoming disgusted with the conditions on the farm and the pressures from Perdue was a gradual buildup of things until the final questioning of myself: “How did I get like this?” 

Carole Morison: Perdue showed up on the farm when the Food, Inc. film crew was here. When the company finally figured out who was visiting, we received a letter threatening contract termination for “violating bio-security.” 


Congratulations to Carole Morison!

My husband and I saw Food Inc. in the theatre when it was first released, and I was so sad that there was only (maybe) eight of us.  When we walked out - I was so bummed out - and my husband said, "this movie is great. You know how long it takes to turn a big ship - it's turning and this movie is helping to turn it."

Here we are five years later - Congratulations Carole! And, thank you to all those that shared their stories and created Food Inc.- our teenagers watch the movie in their high school science classes. Imagine, food has become science. Meanwhile, America has never been fatter or sicker and strangely we can't seem to figure out why.

Best health to all and thanks again Food Inc. for changing the world one plate at a time.
