This eye-opening documentary follows an experiment in a small village in the mountains of France where the town's mayor has decided to make the school lunch menu organic, with much of the food grown locally. He argues that unless we act now to change industrial models of agricultural production that rely on petro-chemical fertilizers and insecticides, our children will be condemned to rapidly deteriorating health in the form of cancers, infertility and other illnesses linked to environmental
factor. Featuring interviews with children, parents, teachers, health care workers, farmers, elected officials, scientists and researchers, "Food Beware" takes a powerful look at the abuses of the food industry, the challenges and rewards of safe food production, and the practical solutions that everyone can take part in. This remarkable story of one community's crusade to save their children's health is both food for thought and a blueprint for a growing revolution.
Takes a pragmatic, health-based approach, buttressed by frightening statistics about cancer rates among children, thatâ(TM)s a refreshing change from the moral and high-cultural preening that sometimes enter this debate in America.
Rather than just putting you off your feed, this food documentary aims to point up a success story %u2014 a small French town called Barjac that went organic and thrived.
Uneven documentary brings to the surface important points about the quality of our food products. All of us (this non-organic, cola-drinker included) should be apprised.
[Audiences] will take issue with the film's overwhelming number of talking heads, constant barrage of stats and director Jean-Paul Jaud's inability to craft a human story out of a very timely health issue.
Frightening statistics punctuate the film like death knells (in Europe, 40 percent of cancer cases are linked to food), and a compelling argument is made -- pesticides hurt the farmer, the environment and the consumer.
An entertaining documentary that presents a blueprint for bringing organic, healthy and socially responsible food production and preparation to local communities.
This outstanding documentary calls for a food revolution for the very best reason. Until there is a change in the way we produce food, we face an ever-escalating cancer epidemic.
Increible, la informacion y todo lo que nos muestra de este pueblo llamado Berjac es inmejorable, que envidia poder vivir en un sitio como ese.
Las cifras de la Unesco espeluznantes y todo muy bien documentado.
La alegria de los niños es algo que nunca tendra valor alguno y que nuestras practicas agricolas estan
borrando.
Hay que verlo, como sea!
