Movie Review – FRESH: The Movie by Ana Sofia Joanes

cheeseslave » 21 May 2009 » In Uncategorized » 14 Comments

I was delighted to catch the new documentary, FRESH, by Ana Sophia Joanes at the Newport Beach film festival last month. FRESH is a movie about modern food production and supply, how messed up it is, the ramifications of industrial agriculture, and what we need to do to fix it. This is a must-see, folks. Absolutely do not miss this movie. Not only is the film informative and captivating, it’s so emotionally powerful I was moved to tears more than once (okay, let’s be honest, my cheeks were wet throughout).

Baby lambs on sustainable farm

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found it very interesting that the word “easter” is derived from the Latin, “estres,” which means the period of reproduction in animals. Perhaps this is why Easter is about eggs and baby chicks and baby lambs and bunnies. It’s the time to get out there and plant seeds. After a cold, dark winter, new life shoots out of the ground, and baby animals are born on the farm.

chicken on pasture

If you read my blog regularly, you know I love eggs. We typically go through about 3-4 dozen eggs per week. Our little family consisting of 2 adults and one toddler. Eggs are one of the most economical ways to increase the nutrients in your family’s diet. Eggs are full of vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, beta carotene, cholesterol (which is good for you), and saturated fat (also good for you). Why Pastured Eggs? I don’t just buy any eggs. I only buy pastured eggs from local farmers who keep their chickens outdoors and let them roam around in the sun, eating bugs.

Kate’s Daily Breakfast

Breakfast with Kate

This is pretty much the breakfast Kate eats every single day. Two pastured eggs scrambled or cooked over easy in plenty of grass-fed butter (usually raw; although I often use KerryGold). I add a couple of pinches of sea salt and freshly ground pepper. It’s funny. At our last visit to the pediatrician, they asked [...]

No CAFO

Kate and I just had the yummiest lunch! It’s fun now because we can eat together (she’s eating finger foods instead of purees — and she can eat pretty much everything — of course, we’re not eating any grains yet). Anyway, I put some bacon grease in a pan, then threw in some of the [...]
