I was listening to CBC radio today and heard this interestiong interview with jazz violinist and film maker Robert Thompson. What caught my attention was Yunnan, China. The talk was about his new film "4 generations" and because it is so short I rather not tell the story. Beautiful photography and great music.

Have you ever noticed that after eating a meal at a fast food restaurant, you feel hungry a few hours later? Why is that? Are you just plain hungry or is there something in the food that is causing this hunger? If you haven't had the chance to watch the movie, "Super Size Me", click here and watch it now for free!

"Super Size Me" is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It's an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a 'McDonald's only' diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.

�Islands at Risk�, which is included in this short clip is a very interesting documentary of how Hawai�i is beening used as a testing ground for Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs. All the major corporations are in there secretely growing crops around chain link fences with signs that read �keep out, trespassers will be prosecuted�. It is really interesting to see that the USA and Canada are big world leaders in GMOs and that these companies who are invading Hawai�i have taken away business from small farmers that sell to countries who do not accept GMO products at all.

The end of the arts. Let's not go this far to eliminate all funding for the arts. Increase funding.
