# 3: Food, Inc.

I have been asked to comment upon the film Food, Inc. Here is a link to it:

 

The person which made this request, proposed a list of questions which could be considered for answering, such as:

• Are you at all angry about the deception the federal government has been involved?
• Does the relationship between the federal government and some big-business surprise you?
• Does the affect of food production on the environment surprise you?
• How about all that bacteria in our food? Yummy? Who cares? No big deal? Disgusting?
• Is it simply easier and better for we Americans not to know about issues regarding the food we eat?

I am not going to attempt to answer these, but look at a bigger issue. First, I confess, I did not watch the entire film, I only watched the first 20 minutes or so, but I have heard much of what was being alleged, on late night conspiracy radio. While I may be sickened by the little I have seen, It does not surprise me. For this is just one aspect of what I can expect from a country, or even a world that does not recognize the Creator.

 What this film highlights for me, is that we as a nation, as a world, have forgotten God. We Are Ungodly! We no longer accept his laws. We no longer Fear God!.

  For this, he has given us over to our own desires, to our own corrupt lusts, to do those things that are NOT convenient. (Romans 1:28)

  One of my Pastor's favorite quotes (found in Proverbs 1:7) is:  

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

This is where we need to start. Today, as knowledge appears to be abounding more and more. This rule, needs to be our guide. Any researcher needs to remember this first: "the Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge." The innovator needs to consider first: "the Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge." The scientist needs to know: "the Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge." I hope you get the picture.
  As we forget God, He will turn us over to do that which we are prone to do. This is our First Judgment. Later, he will inflict upon us his own wrath, but first he allows us to face a world that does not want him. This is why we see the tragedies we see before us today. However, "even after all this," Isaiah tells us over and over, "His hand is stretched out still."

To God Be the Glory
