NoVA locavores may have recognized Polyface Farm principal Joel Salatin spouting off in the above trailer, as the so-proclaimed “grass farmer” has been catapulted to the forefront of the sustainable agriculture movement following his near-messianic role in Michael Pollan’s “The Omnivore’s Dilemma.”
In Food, Inc., Salatin waxes philosophic about what elected officials SHOULD busy themselves with when it comes to our food supply:
Imagine what it would be if, as a national policy, the idea would be to have such nutritionally dense food that people actually felt better, had more energy and weren’t sick as much? Now, you see, that’s a noble goal!
Food Inc. is set to premiere locally Friday, June 19 at D.C.’s E Street Cinema and AMC Loews Shirlington 7.
Meanwhile, Food, Inc. co-producer and food journalist Eric Schlosser will most likely take a drubbing for his pinko dining habits on tonight’s Colbert Report.
