King Corn

I'm currently nursing a pulled calf muscle so most exercise is out of the question - hell, walking is a challenge. Instead, I sat on the couch after work and watched King Corn, It's a documentary about 2 friends from college that move to Iowa to learn where their food comes from. They plant and grow an acre of corn and try to follow what happens to it in the food system. Not the most exciting movie, but pretty thought provoking and interesting.

While you're in the mood, go read The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan (if you haven't already).

Heal well.
