No enfants nous accuseront/ Our Children will accuse us

Après ce TED vidéo de Jamie Oliver c'est important de voir cette bande annonce du film-documentaire de Jean Paul Jaud.
Comment notre nourriture nous rend malade. Même message donc que Mr Oliver plus axé sur la production de notre nourriture et montrer le doigt à l'agriculture intensive et industrielle.
Ce qui est troublant c'est la campagne que je perçois comme encore intacte ne l'est pas du tout. (dans la bande annonce on voit des villages et agriculteurs ici à coté dans le Gard!)
Ça craint!
Je félicite le maire de ce village qui à décidé que la cantine d'école servira les repas bio. Bravo!



Next video on the Health-Food relationship. Here's the trailer to the movie-documentary of Jean Paul Jaud.
What i find disturbing is the fact that the country side ( here next door!), i thought to be still good and healthy, is in fact sick and sickening with this intense-industrial kind of production. With an excessive need for pesticides and other treatment methods.
No really appetizing ...
On the positive note: I do admire the mayor of that small village next door that decided to have served only organic produced food in the school cafeteria.

Jamie Oliver: on Diet

A passionate plead on disease and food relation. A health catastrophe is happening right now on our plates.
Jamie's serious message (I think it's a perverse situation that eating bad food is killing us faster than not having sufficient food) The good news is we can prevent it and we can revers it. Education is key.
The part with the kids not knowing what the basic vegetables are is mind boggling. Then again i have been in supermarket check-outs where the ladies and/or occasional guy didn't know what veggie i was trying to buy (nothing fancy or exotic just a basic seasonal local thing)
These are important issues that need to be addressed. And it's the reason i started this blog, not that I am en expert nor am i so witty as Jamie, but because i feel that the next revolution is and will be on our plate. Food is the new way of keeping us powerless and a way of control (sure i watched an episode of X-files too many, but think about the additives extra sugar and fat in processed and fast food if it isn't to keep us addicted...?) Easy way to control our bodies, health and spending money.
Don't let them get you!

Vin d'un port USB près de chez vous

Bête mais efficace pour la bon humeur. Quand même, je me demande quand est-ce que ce genre de truc devient réalité?
