Go Further

This environmental documentary was very interesting but the biggest impact that it left on me as a viewer was the Organic living and dairy-free lifestyle that many of Woody Harrison's friends abided by. I thought they provided a compelling viewpoint with interesting (and some what disturbing) facts such as the big one, "Blood and pus are in milk." Besides this statement, which made me not ever want to consume dairy products again for a couple of hours until I saw a dairy queen commercial on TV, I really enjoyed hearing about organic foods and how they are not only better for us, in that they don't contain harsh pesticides, but they are also help support the environment and 'green' movement. Although the movie did make me a little sad because it made me want to go out and start eating organic, start ordering tree-alternative paper and switch to soy but living in Mankato there are not alot of places that you can easily obtain these items (with the exception of Soy milk). Besides downtown Mankato's Contessa restaurant, I can not think of any other organic places in Mankato and North Mankato. I wish that we had a Food Co-op like in St. Peter which provides all natural, organic materials and food. Overall I really enjoyed "Go Further"'s messages and their ability to get their points accross with out being too pushy about it (which is how I feel about a lot of other documentaries). Esspecially that it had the author of my favorite book ever, "One flew over the Coo-coo's Nest" by Ken Keesy, which was alittle random, but I think that Woody Harrison's crew was out promoting a better cause than the Merry Pranksters with their Acid tests.
