Watched "Food Inc." Holy Crap.
Everything in the movie makes sense. My law school leagues who screened the film (and prepared a delicious spread of organic food) even contested the notion that Organic/Local Grown/All Natural/Sustainable food costs significantly more than Industrial Food.
Shopping and cooking yourself is a sure way to start down the path of a healthier, more environmentally sustainable, and surely more delicious food life. Prior to this movie I've already been staying away from processed foods. I am however aware that cooking (and shopping for) is extremely time consuming. I am also aware that processed foods are more convenient, often cheaper, and certainly taste worse.
My problem is now is:
1 I like animal protein, fish and meat, which by their nature are much more difficult to acquire organically/locally/sustainably.
2 I like Japanese food/ingredients, which have to be brought in from 6500 miles away.
Clearly, I should move to Japan in order to eat the foods I love locally.
