Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi all - a friend sent this. I'm so excited to see it! Hope everyone can make it! Best, Cari Food, Inc. How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults. Featuring Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=240408265296 & h=shpSW & u=WnWfL & ref=nf http://www.foodincmovie.com/about-the-film.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knew of simple asian vegan varaiations of either wonton soup or those little appetizer things with veggies in them? I am in the hospital on my cell phone so not at my regular computer and can & #39;t get to the group files until I get home. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Do you mean spring rolls by appetizer things with veggies in them? If so, I use rice paper and roll up veggies in them and fry them in olive oil. I put carrots, zucchini and mushrooms in mine, but any veggies will work. They are kind of like egg rolls but much lighter/healthier. I imagine you could play around with the rice paper in place of wonton wrappers to make a wonton soup. I never tried it personally but you gave me an idea to play with. Hope you feel better. Good luck getting the food you want!

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yeah! That's what they are called. Do you use a light sauce inside with the veggies or do you just roll and fry them? All of a sudden I have a taste for them, but vegan/gluten free style. Do they take a long time to make or is preparing the veggies the longest part?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I shred the veggies. I have one of those food processor type things you stick the veggies in the top and it shreds them so they are a little thicker than spaghetti noodles. They cook up pretty well in the frying process so I don't precook them. I dip them in an apricot sauce when they are done. Any type of safe duck sauce type stuff will work or apricot preserves works well too. I never tried putting the sauce inside. They are pretty simple to make. If your chopping the veggies up by hand that would be the longest part. Even if you have a box grater you could use the side with the biggest holes and that will cut the prep time. They really hit the spot when your craving them! Enjoy! On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 3:28 PM, dmhs <dhsellers wrote: > > > Yeah! That's what they are called.
