A new French documentary about industrial food and how it is bad for us

I just got the link to see the trailer of a new documentary called “Nos enfants nous accuseront”(Our children will accuse us). It is a French documentary but the trailer is entirely subtitled in English. Apparently, it is not sure yet whether it will be released in theaters, but the authors hope that by having as many people as possible going to the trailer page, they will have enough weight to convince the distributors. After watching the trailer, it looks like what they show about France can be applied anywhere in the world… industrial, mass production of food forces the farmers to use tons of chemicals that lead to more and more diseases in Humans. On speaker at UNESCO claimed that the new generation will be less healthy than our generation… looking at what’s going on, I can believe it.
Having good, nutritious, healthy food should be everybody’s priority and especially when you have to feed children.
Fortunately, more and more people know that organic food is better than “traditionally” grown food (even if few scientific reports show that for sure). Organic food is still a bit more expensive and not as available than “traditional” food, but hopefully with a growing demand, it will become more available… although we also need to pay attention as to how the organic food was produced. Producing organic food without using sustainable techniques and good treatment of the cattle is not worth it.
We need to take good care of the world in order to make sure that it takes good care of us.
