FRESH the movie, showing in Quad Cities September 18th.
Quad Cities Chapter of Buy Fresh Buy Local and Progressive Action for the Common Good-Local Foods Initiative will sponsor a showing of the movie FRESH, new thinking about what we are eating, a film by ana Sofia joanes, Friday September 18th.
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, a 2008 MacArthur's "Genius Award" fellow; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan's book, the Omnivore's Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, who is creating a new market model for our family farmers. FRESH's focus on these inspiring individuals and their initiatives around the US provides the audience with actionable solutions. FRESH is a call to action.
"We need to celebrate and support our local food supply. FRESH inspires folks to join the local food movement and gives them hope that we can realize our goal of a safe, sustainable, local food supply," Caroline Vernon, Progressive Action for the Common Good-Local Foods Initiative.
"QC Buy Fresh Buy Local is connecting consumers in the Quad Cities to the freshest, most delicious locally grown and produced foods available. Through outreach events, local food guides, and educational materials, Buy Fresh Buy Local makes it easy for people to find and connect with local food from farmers they can know and trust," states Chapter Chair Phil Crandall.

Ok -- I know that I am usually preaching to the choir. But if you are new to the local food journey .... come see the movie.
If you think Cheese-Whiz can be classified as a food, rather than a chemistry experiment run-a-muck.... come see the movie.
If you don't think there can be a difference in taste and nutrition between a free-range egg and a CAFO egg .... come see the movie.
If you don't know what CAFO means ......... come see the movie.
Free movie!! Free popcorn!! Priceless education!! Come join us.
