A few weeks back, I saw Our Daily Bread. Excellent footage, and if you know a bit about agriculture, you will recognize some things and enjoy watching. Filmed in Europe, I left thinking I would feel very comfortable if American "industrial food production" standards were as shown. Scrubbing down the equipment at the end, manually taking out dead stock, efficiently harvesting white asparagus, the obvious strength in the bodies of the workers... Hell, you wonder how long the sheet metal fabricators worked to figure out exactly how much "bump" a little chick can take and survive. Amazing to watch.

If you've heard the usual talk/controversy about food issues, watch the film and see what you think. Very educational, watching the work techniques.
