It's Friday, and in my books, that means it's time to feel good.
Let's set aside the doom-and-gloom stories for a moment and focus
on some good news!
--------------------
Today's FFGN is less about news and more about feeling good. Check out this cute Star Wars-themed parody of the war between conventional and organic food:
It's so cheesy but so funny at the same time! The facts about unsustainable practices in modern industrial farming must get out to more people; why not speak in a language that a huge chunk of the population understands? Obi-Wan Cannoli is right when he says that people don't even want to know where their food comes from, they just want low prices. Who knows, maybe someday it will be possible for a potato "father" to have a cucumber "son" thanks to genetic engineering.
I hope you enjoyed the video, and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the smile.I love O-B-1-cannoli!Have a great weekend Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThat was my aim, to make you smile. The first time I watched this video, I kept bursting out laughing every time they food-ified the Star Wars characters. Princess Lettuce? Awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteChewbroccoli! BWAHAHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteStretch out with your peelings!!! Hee hee hee...
Oh god. That's awesome.
That was awesome. Yet another video that won't be seen by the masses on television.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is the second time I have seen this video, I am glad it is getting some play around the net. I really think that humour is the only way to get to some people - they laugh at it and then later, think about it... :)
ReplyDeleteMarc - I couldn't stop laughing the first time I watched it. Actually, I had to replay it right away because I missed so much of the "plot"!
ReplyDeleteEmily - True, it won't be seen by the masses, but because it uses the Star Wars theme, many more people will see it compared to a typical video that is more dry.
ReplyDeleteSherry - Humour is a very effective tool for raising awareness, not only because you hold the audience's attention, but because topics like environmental issues can be quite overwhelming, and many would rather not watch documentaries that are kinda depressing.
