The one thing filmmaker Robert Kenner ('Food, Inc.') will never eat again
Long answer short: strawberries.
His full answer to Jane Black's question, in a Q&A published in last Sunday's Washington Post : "But if there's one thing, it would have to be strawberries sprayed with pesticides. We saw people in the field with hazmat suits. The fact that there are people that have to wear those to grow food is really incredible."

Thank You, I need a kick in the Ass occasionally.....well, maybe more then I think.
It's so easy to run, but, how long can you run before the mirror catches you?

I tried growing organic strawberries for 4 years. I usually end up with very small mushy strawberries. If they stay solid they are badly formed and the slugs get them before I do. Even when I did manage to get a few good enough to eat they never last in the fridge longer than a day.

I heard about this documentary on my local NPR station the other day. They interviewed the filmmaker who, made a passionate case about the importance of educating ourselves on how the food we put on our table, ACTUALLY GETS THERE. I confess some trepidation at the idea of watching his film however though, I know that eventually I will not be able to resist seeing it.
In the past six years I have gone as organic as my wallet can afford. Also, I have mostly cut out red meats and white meats I eat only of the kind that professes on its packaging to have not caged the bird. All in all, I'm quite proud of the fact that I pay attention to what I purchase, cook and ultimately feed my family with. I'd hate now to have that belief debunked by Mr. Kenner's documentary. Hence the hesitation.
Surely, he will also show what foods one may enjoy without fear of poisoning ourselves. Not worried one bit about the strawberries though. I've bought them organic for years. Love them passionately and I don't think I could ever give them up.
