Sierra Club has produced a nice little animated movie about all the extended costs of commercial food that consumers aren't paying. My only problem with the movie is at the end, when the customer is buying food at the farmers' market, the lettuce is only $.30 a head! That's not a living wage for a farmer!
Here's the website for the True Cost of Food education campaign - looks like you can request a dvd or vhs version and discussion guide - (at the moment the links to download the full-length version aren't available - the link above is to the 7-minute version). I'm excited about all the activist materials they've made freely available surrounding this issue.
