Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution

I just watched Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution which was a documentary about a small town in France in which the mayor mandates the food served in the local school must be organic. This experiment is interspersed with commentary on the different farming methods used in the region, the condition of the water in the region and other food related issues.

The movie itself is a little slow moving, but the images of the village and surrounding countryside are beautiful and exactly what you would expect a small village in France to look like. The food the kids are eating is about as far away as you can possibly get from chicken fingers and PB&J. The film itself is a good reminder why I started my own garden and gives good pause to reflect on a lot of other actions.
