Food, Inc.

 

DVD HD 9005 .F66 2009

 

“Drawing on Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation and Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma, director Robert Kenner’s provocative, Oscar-nominated documentary explores the food industry’s detrimental effects on our health and environment.”

This documentary is extremely powerful, shocking and eye opening truth about our today’s food production.

 It is an excellent movie to get knowledge about what we really buy in grocery stores and consume. Highly recommend to watch to anybody.

Mullaby, North Carolina is a place where magic happens. Emily Benedict and Julia Winterson are each searching for their place in the world. Emily arrives at the house of a grandfather she's never met and tries to make sense of the changes in her life and the past her mother has hidden from her. Julia Winterson came back to Mullaby temporarily. The deadline she has set for herself to finish her business is rapidly approaching but is she ready to leave permanently?

Can a hummingbird cake really bring back a lost love? Is there really a ghost dancing in Emily's backyard? The answers are never what you expect. But in this town of loveable misfits, the unexpected fits right in.

This story has a little bit of everything... romance, mystery, forbidden love, delicious food, all sprinkled with a hint of magic.

Crossfire

By Dick Francis and Felix Francis

CWC Library’s McNaughton Collection

 

Dick Francis’ books are of the mystery/adventure genre, but in reading his many books you can learn a lot about horses and steeplechase racing; he was also a jockey. At times you can feel you are in the race with the rider, but also help solve the story. This book is co- authored by his son Felix, so the tradition continues. Enjoy!
