(Download EAT ME, for free, today!)If you’ve read Michael Pollan and you’ve seen FOOD, INC., chances are you’re not super-sizing your meals or expecting to find a movie-marketing doo-dad in your lunchbox.
However, chances are you still have many friends and family members convinced “organic” is just a Madison Avenue buzzword to bilk city-slickers out of a few extra bucks. And, sometimes they’re right. Nevertheless, these folks remain transfixed with trans-fats, stuffing themselves with “food-like substances” that have shelf lives longer than the halflife of Plutonium 239. My mantra: if it won’t rot, don’t eat it.
So, how do we introduce the issues surrounding organic food and farming? Consider this: EAT ME. That’s the title of The Warren Report’s half-hour special showcasing the documentary, THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN as well as interviews with the movie’s eponymous subject, author Nina Planck (Real Food: What to Eat and Why
) and Colin McCrate, founder of The Seattle Urban Farm Company. Together, they use facts, fun and implosion therapy to get me over my fear of dirt and my melon-picking ignorance.
Watch the entire show, EAT ME, for yourself, for FREE, on-line now — via iTunes, Libsyn or The Warren Report. Then, share with friends who still believe the tip of the food pyramid is comprised of Ding Dongs and Pixy Stix.
Bon appetit!

Warren,
I have seen both The Business of Being Born and Orgasmic Birth at your hosted events and loved them both. I am curious if you’ve heard of another documentary which also looks quite amazing. It is called “Laboring under an Illusion; Mass Media Childbirth vs. the Real Thing” which can be located at http://birth-media.com/index.html
I would love it if you would be interested in hosting a screening of this documentary. I am in no way affiliated with the movie, I’m just a childbirth educator who is sick of the false information and scare tactics pregnant women are exposed to these days.
Thank you very much,
~Amy
