Food, Inc.
Friday night we got a last minute babysitter and went to see Food, Inc. at the Menasha Public Library. It was interesting - focused a lot on the meat side of food production. There was also a panel discussion - which Brian found to be the most interesting part. Although - anyone who willingly gives up a Friday night to watch a free movie on the evils of the food industry at the library.... well, let's just call it preaching to the choir.

I've heard a little bit about the movie from your mom. At least enough to know that I'd better not go see it or I'll never eat any of my favorite foods again. But I'm interested to hear about the panel discussion. There actually were enough people who showed up for a free movie at the library on a Friday night that you could have a discussion? A panel discussion, no less? Did the audience participate? More to the point, did you and Brian participate?
Yeah - the room was filled. Probably 40-50 people. No, we didn't comment. There were people with some good insights and information I didn't know. And then there were the "let's sue Monsanto for killing us slowly" people. It was interesting. We stayed for about 30-45 minutes of the panel before needing to go relieve the babysitter.
