American Meat the film premiers in Virginia July 9

American Meat (film trailer)

By Jason Fowler on 07/08/2011

What I find unique about this film project is they seem to be using it as merely a starting point for action. The film American Meat is apparently connected with a video-based social network called Leave It Better and another sister project Harvest Cloud…

Worthy of Our Meat

By John Pattison on 01/13/2011

Salatin is representative of how the ethical eating conversation has changed even within American Christianity…When Salatin was an undergraduate…in the seventies, students were warned to avoid “the food cult” of the natural food movement…

Joel Salatin | Food: The Cornerstone of Christian Credibility

Salatin’s sense of urgency serves as a wake up call for Christians to begin embracing a more theologically holistic view of the world and a more sacred view of both eating and farming as environmentally, socially and spiritually transformative acts…

Food, Inc. [Movie Review]

Food, Inc. [Movie Review]

By Julie Clawson on 07/10/2009

I recently headed out to a sold-out showing of the documentary Food, Inc. at Austin’s own Alamo Drafthouse. Generally, getting dinner and drinks along with my movie is my favorite “night out” activity, but in watching a film which critically examines our industrial food system, it was a bit strange.

What is our food culture as a whole in this country? There are stories of corporate greed, polluted environments, mad cow disease, salmonella outbreaks, genetically modified organisms, and bankrupt farmers by the hour….”it’s not enought to say NO to what we don’t like-we must say YES to the good, ” according to Salatin.
