Year: 2008

One of the most striking quotes from this film says that one-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keep your doctor alive. What exactly is the connection between big pharmaceutical companies and food production? How does the modern highly processed, nutrient-deficient food we eat affects our health and the profit margins of Big Pharma?  All of these answers and much more can be found in Food Matters. Just to give you a hint, healthy people don’t buy drugs, and if you don’t buy drugs, Big Pharma doesn’t have much use of you.
