I just found out that the movie Fresh will be available through today to watch free, online. This has been around a while but I’ve never seen it. I started watching it but then thought I should probably share this here with you for others who might want to see it while the offer is still available. So far, it looks like the same genre as King Korn and Food, Inc – a real food documentary.
The link to view it is here – http://action. freshthemovie. com/p/salsa/ web/common/ public/signup? signup_page_ KEY=6608. You have to sign up with your name and email address to view the movie.
To real foodies, the interviewees will look familiar, as will their message. Joel Salatin, Michael Pollan, etc. But it’s been a while since I’ve watched anything along these lines, other than the Monsanto film that I mentioned a few months ago, so I’m not feeling overly saturated with the message right now.
We just popped some popcorn and I’m sitting down together with dd11, ds9, ds5, and ds4 to finish watching this. 🙂

Thanks for this – it still worked for me this morning (presumably because it’s still the first in parts of the US). There wasn’t much that surprised me, certainly, but it’s useful to be reminded that changes are happening, and can be supported.
Thanks for that Avivah. Really enjoyed it and then was motivated to take my two hens out to the front yard for a good feed of greens.
Thanks for the recommendation! I just finished watching this. It’s very similar to the documentary Food Inc (http://www.foodincmovie.com/) which I would also recommend.
I’m wondering if you know how the film’s concerns apply to the Israeli food system — feedlots, antibiotics, pesticide use, etc? Are those also issues in Israel? Is there an equivalent “dirty dozen” list or organic certification? We are hopefully looking at an aliyah date next spring, and since my toddler was born I’ve been learning about and cooking more “real food”… but last time I was in Israel this wasn’t on my radar so I’ve never been able to investigate.
Hi, Rochel, and welcome! Yes, it is very similar to Food Inc, which is also a good documentary to watch. When I watched Food Inc a couple of years ago, I got it from the library and there were 38 people waiting for it before me!
Funny you just asked this question – I answered something similar in my post that I just finished writing – it will be up early in the morning. But in short, I’m sorry to say I don’t know about these specifics, though I assume to some degree they’ll be similar.
