    Can anyone recommend a good food documentary other than What the Health?

      I thought Supersize Me was a little disgusting, but people loved it. I've also heard good things about King Corn and Food Inc. I loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi, which is maybe a little more on the social side of sustainability.  And I really loved The Cheese Nun on PBS.

      I recommend In Defense of Food, the film based on the book of the same name by Michael Pollan.  We're showing it tomorrow at a local theater in Columbus OH.  I also recommend Fed Up, which does an excellent job addressing the obesity epidemic. Another interesting documentary I saw recently on Netflix is At the Fork, which shows how our food especially animas) is grown in the U.S. It does so without judgment, and includes industrial systems, reforms to give animals more room, and organic methods. At the end of it, my commitment to transition to veganism was increased. Killing animals for our food seems increasingly harsh, cruel, and unnecessary in my opinion.

    I've been doing the treadmill for 1.5-2 hours per day and my legs feel like they are going to fall off :-)
