WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE is a witty and provocative documentary and outreach campaign produced and directed by award-winning Catherine Gund about kids and food politics. Filmed over the course of one year, the film follows two eleven-year-old African-American city kids as they explore their place in the food chain. Sadie and Safiyah take a close look at food systems in New York City and its surrounding areas. With the camera as their companion, the girl guides talk to each other, food activists, farmers, new friends, storekeepers, their families, and the viewer, in their quest to understand what’s on all of our plates. Aubin Pictures seeks alliances with parents, teachers, food activists, policy makers, journalists, corporations, scientists, and, most importantly, kids to spread the message about the importance of local, healthy food in a young person’s life.

Many “health gurus” make it seem as if the only two types of food are shelf stable, overly-processed, toxin laden foods and the locally grown organic foods. There is plenty of grey area between the extremes. @ 1:24, she kind of shrugged at “thiamine mononitrate” which is vitamin B1. It doesn’t matter what its source is, the molecule is the same. The body “sees” foods in their chemical forms, not broccoli or pizza or soda or spring water. Focus on the toxins and not the source of the nutrients.

Okay, all I have to say, is this is the most gay film I’ve ever seen. Its more like the Democratic Party’s propaganda video. And don’t call me a Republican cause I’m not.

i hope you’re right, if we can educate everyone about the importance of organic food maybe we can get the corporations to compete for who can produce the freshest most natural food grown from the best kept soil instead of what’s going on right now.
