In the Tradition of FOOD INC. and FAST FOOD NATION
Comes a Must-See Film from the Birthplace of Fine Cuisine

**Interviews Available with Director Jean-Paul Jaud

For the first time ever, our children are growing up less healthy than we are. As the rate of cancer, infertility and other illnesses linked to environmental factors climbs ever upward each year, we must ask
ourselves: why is this happening?

Food Beware begins with a visit to a small village in France, where the town's mayor has decided to make the school lunch menu organic and locally grown. It then talks to a wide variety of people with differing perspectives to find common ground - children, parents, teachers, health care workers, farmers, elected officials, scientists, researchers and the victims of illnesses themselves. Revealed in these moving and often surprising conversations are the abuses of the food industry, the competing interests of agrobusiness and public health, the challenges and rewards of safe food production, and the practical solutions that we can all take part in. Food Beware is food for thought - and a blueprint for a growing revolution.


 “If there is a film to see this year about the environment and our health, it is Food Beware.”
- LE MONDE

 “A must-see!”
- VIVA MAGAZINE (FRANCE)

 “A powerful, important film! An inspiring and educational tale.”
- LA VIE VERTE (A GUIDE TO WHAT’S GREEN IN FRANCE)

 “What we found remarkable about this movie is that not only is it a warning cry but also – indeed mostly – it is a celebration of life and hope offering very simple solutions.”
- WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (FRANCE)
