Deconstructing Supper: Is Your Food Safe?
http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/decon.html
The handful of biotech companies who control genetically modified seeds claim this is the only way to feed the world's growing population. But are these foods safe? Are there other, less risky ways to feed ourselves? Our chef finds answers to these compelling questions and more. From North America to Great Britain to India and back, John Bishop shares fascinating conversations and mouth-watering feasts with farmers, such as Michael Ableman, scientists and activists, such as Vandana Shiva. We see the actual transfer of DNA from bacteria into canola plants, and meet Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser who is battling the giant Monsanto Corporation. We learn startling information about the milk we drink in North America and meet Indian farmers and activists fighting to keep traditional farming practices alive. Deconstructing Supper is a ride every contemporary eater will want to take, a thought-provoking and entertaining journey into the revolution in modern food production, and its effects on our lives.
