I did buy her new(ish) book however and just finished reading through it. The book talks about a lot of things happen in developing countries (out of our view) and explains the concepts from the film in great detail. Read the book and let us know what you think!

Even more so. But I'm beginning to think this is all inevitable. We humans seem to be designed to take our own selfishness to the nth degree so that we actually end up consuming and/or destroying ourselves. Without fail. Not all of us are like this... but those who ARE live like unstoppable parasitic voracious molds that unstoppably consume everything in sight. Fat rises to the top. Fat stock traders, fat bankers, fat politicians, fat industrialists, fat everything. Fat begets more fat and craves more fat. That's the nature of Fat. Fat wants to completely dominate and control. But of course it would... it must feed itself. And, FAT believes it's NEVER ENOUGH. What else would we expect FATS to do - give in and love the planet, love their neighbors as themselves, believe there's a God? Silly goose. The little people are chattel. Little 'pooples' actually. We're just little pooples to THEM... On that note, how about something positive? Annie Leonard has a new "Story of Bottled Water." http://StoryofBottledWater.org I'm not sure why she bothers trying to help us all see the folly of our ways. What's the point? We're just... Fats. Oh well! Now scuse me while i lumber off to chug some soda and burgers. Not. Well yes. Even more so.
