This is a great site. Lots of cool discussion and resources.
Know most of your readers, will have heard of Food, Inc, a good expose of all that is wrong with the food industry, but also wanted to let you know about a fun and serious low budget film called EATING ALASKA (www.eatinglaska.com). No well lit experts or hidden cameras, but a wrty documentary about choices and dilemmas and an ex-vegetarian who ends up on the Alaskan frontier married to a fisher and hunter and sets off on a quest for the right thing to eat.

Keep up the good work.
