But better to get that info out there for a more mass audience than just only sing to the choir. My husband doesn't read about these issues and if I rant on about them, well, he turns a deaf ear. But he got a lot out of the film, much like he did with King Corn. He's reading labels and get this - he noticed that high fructose corn syrup was in 2 juices I bought and last night asked me not to do that again. Then he sent emails to the companies and asked them to remove the HFCS and that we wouldn't be buying their product anymore. We're Boomers, not 20-somethings. Ya gotta talk to people where they are and bring them along. So I told my husband, ok honey. And smiled to myself. Yes! I enjoyed the movie even though I knew much of the information.

I found the movie itself really inspiring, but hadn't yet put on my critical lens and thought about how problematic that individualistic "vote with your fork" call to action is... I'm excited to see the movie again with your criticism in mind. best, Avigail Aaron, this is an incredibly thoughtful review.

I’m excited to see the movie again with your criticism in mind.
