On July 19, 2009 I went to see the movie Food, Inc., a documentary about the food we eat and where it comes from. I work for Chipotle Mexican Grill, a company that is very concerned about where it sources it food and is striving to change the way people think about and eat fast food, SO, it should NOT have been shocking to me to see what was in the documentary. But, I was shocked and appalled!

I’ve seen confinement pig operations and I’ve seen pigs raised in natural environment, but I was still shocked. I read “The Omnivores Dilemma” by Michael Pollan and have heard countless Food With Integrity messages from my company, but again, I was shocked. I don’t think I will be able to bring myself to eat meat for a very long time.

I urge you to see this movie, it will educate and inform you so you and your families can make better choices about what you eat. I also recommend that you see the documentary Earthlings, it is truly disturbing and I could only watch it in 10-15 minute increments.

“Once you know better, you have to do better” – Oprah Winfrey

After you see the movie, read “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan.

I want you to live well.

Peace and Many Blessings,
