Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront : New doc puts food under spotlight
The documentary Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront
(Our Children Will Accuse Us) is released in France this Friday looking at the effect of agro-chemicals on the environment and human health, noting that young people today will be "the first generation in a very long time to be less healthy than their parents". Following in the footsteps of Jamie Oliver, the film focuses on a local village school canteen making the transition to organic food. (thanks Todd).

-In Europe every year 100,0000 children die of diseases caused by environment.
-In Europe 70% of cancers are linked to the envirenment: 30% to pollution and 40% to food.
-In Europe cases of cancer in children have been increasing by 1.1% yearly for 30 years.
-In France the number of cancers in males has increasing by 93% in 25 years.
"In a little French community at the foot of the Cévennes Moutains, the mayor has decided to take a stance by making the school canteen organic. Here as everywhere, people are confronted with the anxiety of the dangers of industrial and agro-chemical pollution. It's the start of a fight against a process that could become irreversible, a fight to stop our children accusing us in the future."
