(A film by Robert Kenner, Fortissimofilms)
i haven't seen this movie at HKFF'09, but there are disks now.it is very important to know what is behind 'FOOD' and vote for what we want to put into our mouths EVERYDAY.
P.S. where to find 'grass-feed' beef in HK? i have some experiences:
at Citysuper,there are 'grass-feed' beef steak (labelled) at the very bottom rack, don't miss it.
at Oliver, they don't label it and the butcher doesn't understand 'grass-feed' but he/she does understand 'organic beef steak'. (some days ago, i went there shopping as usual, i asked about it and the lady butcher got a funny look at me and answered: 'grass-feed??? humm... we have 'organic' here.' after i turned back, i heard she gossiped to her colleague aside: 'ha! grass-feed beef??? brabrabra... . ' obviously, she never thinks about what the cows are eating nowadays. or may be she still believes cow certainly eats grass as the textbook said 40 years ago? )
at Sogo, well, i don't think there is grass-feed beef but you can ask. i only found that there are beef steak labelled 'grain-feed' in the fringe and the packing even lets the stick marks look like that 'grain-feed' beef is a luxury and a very good stuff.
(no hope at Taste/Welcome, don't waste your time....wait!... i'm thinking, in the other hand, if we, the customers, ask for grass-feed beef again and again, may be those HK food markert monopolies will import some for the demand, may be. who knows? no harm to try.)
finally, there's one more thing i have to mention.the texture of grass-feed beef (i found in HK) is lean and a bit harder than grain-feed beef. but the price is cheaper and makes me feel worry less about the food security. i'll support it all my heart.
'We are what we eat.' so cliche but so god damn right.
