One of my guilty pleasures, being a radio guy, is to listen to one of the best interview shows on radio, Fresh Air and its host Teri Gross. While generally heard on NPR stations, I monitor the current show on her website since I’m rarely in my car at 3:00 PM when her show is broadcast locally on KRCC.
One of her contributors (David Edelstein) recently offered a review of a new movie I’ll be seeing in Denver this weekend (and I urge you to see) entitled Food, Inc.
The content of this 93-minute documentary probably won’t surprise you or readers of Eric Schlosser’s book and movie Fast Food Nation. However, I share this to remind you that the tide is actually turning. There are a growing number of enlightened individuals in your town, in your state and in our country who are our brethren. They "get" the unhealthy influence of big farma and big pharama!
Remember, next time you’re at the grocery store, you’re voting. Remind patients that they’re voting too.
