King Corn on PBS

I am very excited to tell you about this movie. I have not yet seen it but have heard a lot about it and have been waiting to see it. I guess I could have ordered the DVD but now I don't have to because PBS is showing it. For my readers in Squamish you can watch it on channel 8 KCTS at 10:30 on April 15th, Tuesday. For everyone else get the details here . My mom and her husband saw the movie at the co-op in Nelson and they where very impressed with it. They are organic farmers and they really appreciate good, whole food.
You can get more details about the movie here. This movie is important because it talks about how corn is a massive contributor to the decline in health in North America. High fructose corn syrup is a huge factor in the increase of adult onset diabetes, which is now called type 2 diabetes due to the fact that children are being diagnosed with it more and more. I can't wait to hear what the movie says about this.
I will be writing my comments after I watch the movie so stay tuned...
