"Food Fight" is a fascinating look at how agricultural policy and food culture have developed in 20th century America, and how the local-sustainable-organic food movement offers an alternative to conventionally-produced food. Fresh, local, high-quality ingredients are the basis of many of the world’s great culinary traditions, and with recent recalls in the food industry making headlines, interest in a safe, sustainable food supply is increasing. LA Weekly described Food Fight as a “…cheeky documentary [which] serves up the history and politics of how America eats in a breezy, amusing way.” Organic Horizon said, “Food Fight is what a documentary should be – fun to watch and educational.”
