A scary film now available on many platforms is unexpected beyond what you have witnessed in the past. Now, if I told you it was about what you have at breakfast, lunch and dinner, I would expect that you would laugh instead of being shocked. Well that’s just it; the documentary Feeding Tomorrow takes you into an inner sanctum of the food industry that feeds billions of people every day. It should make you shudder at the knowledge that it’s not climate change that will do us in, but the lack of resources that are needed to feed humanity and the rest of the animals on the planet. Is it feasible to change this for our future? “See this film and do something about.”
The movie starts out with the explanation of how our planet has evolved into a world that uses a food system. It goes on to tell you the system is not working like it should due to the condition of our ecosystem. Not what could and should be, becomes very captivating right up to the question of “Why hasn’t something not been done earlier in our world’s existence to avoid it all?”
I found the film fascinating and urgent in how food is processed and finally ends up on grocery shelves. It’s something we should deal with and the filmmakers provide a list of what we can do about it as the credits roll at the close of the film.
