The Future Of Food

http://www.thefutureoffood.com/



This is one of the scariest movies you will ever see. I was expecting a sickening journey through the muck (a la Upton Sinclair) but what I found was a smart and alarming exposé about the dangers of megalopoly controlled agriculture, the unmitigated risks corporations are taking with the food supply and the chilling future consequences of genetic patenting. What Robert Kane Pappas' "Orwell Rolls in His Grave" does for media conglomerates and the FCC, in a similar vein, Deborah Koons Garcia turns the mirror on bullying agribusiness giant Monsanto and a spineless, inept of corrupt FDA. I was surprised by the heartbreaking stories from America's breadbasket and the inevitable loss of wild seed and grains from the ecosystem. This alarming story is a must see for anyone concerned with corporate domination, nutrition, genetic engineering, ecology and a myriad of other timely and relevant issues. Grade: A

DJ Cheb i Sabbah - Krishna Lila

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheb_i_Sabbah



In short, DJ Cheb is a musical genius. With his latest release, Krisha Lila, DJ Cheb opens up a whole new dimension of acoustic experience. "Anjali" (track 4) is a flowery Hindu aria that bridges generations as it seemlessly progresses into trippy Eastern lounge techno with hints of moody Parisian accordians. "Tum Bin Shvam" (track 7) offers amazing sitar work that captures the musical soul of the East. It's all enlightened fare to say the least. If a steely sitar and fluttered wailing may not yet be to your liking, give it a chance, it might just open up a whole new appreciation for an entirely different paradigm of music. A-
