Free Food (Inc.)
Earlier this week, I told you to take someone who doesn’t know about our broken food system to see the movie Food, Inc. Chipotle, one of MNN’s top 10 organic fast-food picks, is about to make that a whole lot less expensive for you to do so.I’d like to thank reader Kathy from the Georgia Green Dining Guide for bringing this to my attention in the comments of my Food, Inc. piece. (Kathy – I’ve even stolen the title of your comment as the title of this post.)

So one day the whole world will consume MdDonalds products, the fat unhealthy people eat McDonalds and the health conscious organic-heads will eat Chipotle. It's crazy to think that this movie will probably help the patronage and market-share of McDonalds. Say what you want about McDonalds Corp. but their marketing department is.... More

I was planning to attend in Fort Lauderdale. I called the cinema it's playing at to see if tickets could be receive in advance, they told me I had to go through Chipotle to get the tickets. Doesn't say that anywhere on Chipotle's website.
