Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

Tonight The Girl and I are going to watch a documentary I found on YouTube.com. It looks like the whole documentary is available, so it’s a FREEBIE! The film documents the contamination in our food supply–which could be a little scary, but knowledge is power, yada yada, so I am watching it anyway.

I have posted both parts here so you can watch it for free without having to search for it.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

Friday Night at the Movies – A Place at the Table

Tonight, The Girl and I will be watching A Place at the Table. It is by the same people who made Food, Inc. {an AWESOME film!} so I am super excited. The film explores the connection between the availability of healthy food and income. Basically, it shows how lower income children are not getting the nutrition they need to be successful because whole foods are just too expensive.

Right now, the film is in theaters {check your local listings}, available for rent on iTunes, or On Demand {for those of you that have satellite}, and on Amazon Instant Video. It looks like it is $6.99 to rent on amazon, which for me is totally worth it, because for the first 100,000 tickets, downloads, or books purchased, Plum Organics will donate one essential nutrition pouch to a baby or toddler. It’s win-win, I get to watch the movie and a little of my money goes toward something I believe in.

A huge thanks to Jo on Facebook for this awesome recommendation! If you have a movie recommendation for me, let me know in the comments below.

Ever wonder what it would be like to dig up your entire front lawn and plant an edible garden instead? Check out this video of Josée Landry and Michel Beauchamp’s beautiful 2012 front yard kitchen garden in Drummondville, Quebec.

There was actually a big controversy over the garden and the city had planned to make all front lawn vegetable gardens illegal. You can read the whole article about illegal front yard gardens from the Huffington Post. Talk about crazy!

What do you think? Is this an eyesore or eye candy?

Friday Night at the Movies – Alone in the Wilderness

I have watched Alone in the Wilderness on PBS at least 20 times {no joke}.

It is soooo well-made, I just can’t get enough of it. I always get a little giddy when I see it’s going to be on. It is about a man, Dick Proenekke, who decides at age 51 to see if he can, well, live “alone in the wilderness” of Alaska. Dick films his adventures himself, and keep in mind, it is done in the 1980’s, so it is a little gritty at times, but he is smart, well-spoken, and resourceful. Every time I watch it, a little piece of me wishes I could go off of the grid and live off the land myself.

If you can’t find it on your local PBS station, Alone in the Wilderness is available on Amazon in both book and video format.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?
