20. King Corn -- highly recommended!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

There were so many parts of the movie I liked, but I think the part that had the most impact was when one of the young men pulled an ear of corn off the stalk & took a bite of it. He immediately spit it out. They interviewed a local farmer who made the comment that the hundreds of thousands of acres of corn that they grew was, basically, inedible. Most of the corn grown goes to feed animals or is converted into HFCS. It was a stunning documentary.

Our food industry is completely perverted. Along with just about every other industry, as well. x(
