Not too long after Troll 2 rocked my world, I watched the documentary Food, Inc. which goes beyond the grocery aisle to expose the evils of food production in the US. While at first glance, Food, Inc. may seem completely unrelated to Troll 2 but a closer look shows that the two films fight out of opposing corners of the same ring. In Troll 2, vegetarians from a rural farming community who hold sermons about the dangers of smoked meat are portrayed as villains. In Troll 2, going green is bad and a double-decker bologna sandwich with all its cholesterol and toxins saves the day.
The Goblin Queen is right: bologna is not the healthiest deli meat. That's quite the secret weapon, Josh.
There's no pastoral fantasy of an agrarian society at this market; it's the real deal except for the industrial size container of green food coloring.
I don't see the evil in making food affordable with efficient mass production techniques that minimize the land area used.
