How and what we eat has radically
changed over the past few decades with the all-consuming rise of the
supermarket.
But what price are we paying for the homogenised,
cheap and convenient food that supermarkets specialise in? In a
two-part programme, journalist Jane Moore investigates how
supermarkets have affected the food on our plates and reveals the
tell-tale signs that the food we buy may not have been grown in the
way we think.
Using a combination of undercover filming and
scientific analysis, Supermarket Secrets investigates whether the
food on supermarket shelves is really as good as it looks, whether
prices are as good as they seem and what happens behind the scenes
in the production of supermarket food.
This documentry is in two parts.
This first part deals with Factory Farming,
chickens, and general quality of supermarket food. The second part
deals with Cows milk, food standards, food waste, pesticides, food
globalization, and loss of quality of our produce.
A very important watch for everyone, gives you
facts about the meat and food you eat. After watching you will have
more of an understanding of the rational behind Vegetarian, Vegan,
Organic, and grass-root eating practices.

Find out how delicious
organics can be!
Thankfully, organic foods are coming
down in price because of demand and interest in organic produce and
products, and the growing farms who can supply us. It's best
to buy seasonally for optimal taste and best price.
Organic foods are produced
without the use of chemicals, herbicides, fungicides, petroleum-,
sewage- or sludge-based fertilizers or chemical pesticides.
Organic food is not bio-engineered, genetically modified, nor
is it irradiated. Poultry and Beef are fed only organic
feed, are grazed on organically maintained pastures, and are not
given antibiotics, hormones or animal by-products. Organic
farmers are leaders and innovators at protecting our environment
while protecting the crops naturally.
Conventional farmers use
millions of pounds of each year, much of
which ends up in our drinking water and oceans. Pesticides and
chemicals kill off living things - bugs and animals that may eat the
food as well as parasites and microorganisms. Pesticides
deplete the soil so more chemicals are needed to fertilize and so
the cycle continues. Pesticides are poisons. Most have
the potential of causing cancer and are endocrine disrupters that
mimic or interfere with our hormones. Pesticides cannot always
be washed off the food, even with soap, as they are "ingested" in
the plant through the roots and are actually in the body of the
food.

EARTHLINGS is a
feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on
animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific
research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these
so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy
Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the
critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study
into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as
factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment
industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession,
EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to
chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries
in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit.
Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far
the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation
between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are
many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends
the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended! Other
