Comments on documentaries: Food, Inc. & Fresh?
by Suzy Pelican 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

SNE and F&NSPEC listserv members: **Apologies for any duplicate messages** I am hoping some of you may be able to point me toward information I think must be out there...but that I haven't been able to find! I've seen both "Food Inc." and "Fresh" - two recently released documentaries about the contemporary U.S. food system, with emphasis on serious problems created by factory farms and other practices common within large-scale agricultural operations. These are powerful and thought-provoking films, and they put forth - visually and orally - some critical issues (health, ethical, environmental to name just a few) for all to consider. That said, I am also interested in viewers who may question some of the perspectives/facts shared in either or both of these films. As I said above, I know the films raise critical issues, but I sense that some of the films' generalities might be overstated. (Admittedly, I may be wrong in this, but I'd like a broader foundation for evaluation than just my own inadequate knowledge base!) Thanks, in advance, for any insights you could share with me and/or any references/websites/etc. you could point me toward.

Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity. <http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpao/index.html?s_cid=govD_dnpao_141&source=gov…> U.S. High School Students Are Not Eating Enough Fruits and Vegetables November 23, 2011 Eating more fruits and vegetables helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases and can help maintain a healthy weight. However, a recent CDC report shows U.S. high school students continue to eat less than the recommended daily amount of both fruits and vegetables. Among high school students, girls who participate in less than 30 minutes of physical activity each day should eat at least 1.5 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables each day. Boys who participate in less than 30 minutes of physical activity each day should eat at least 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of vegetables each day. photo of girls eating salad In 2010, about 1 in 4 U.S. high school students ate fruits less than once per day, and 1 in 3 U.S high school students ate vegetables less than once per day. This low consumption of fruits and vegetables makes it unlikely that the majority of students are meeting the daily fruit and vegetable recommendations. Schools and communities can increase students' access to and availability of fruits and vegetables through: farm-to-school initiatives, school gardens and salad bars, and farmers markets.
