Path to Freedom & Point of View Present a Screening of Food, Inc. with Vegetarian Potluck
This great green event is over now!
This event is a collaboration with POV (Point of View), PBS' award-winning nonfiction film series, and Path to Freedom.
Film:
How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Though our food appears the same as ever — a tomato still looks like a tomato — it has been radically transformed. In the Academy Award®-nominated blockbuster Food, Inc., producer-director Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) lift the veil on the U.S. food industry, revealing surprising and eye-opening facts about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we may go from here. (Caution: There are some images of animal cruelty that may disturb viewers. Parental discretion advised.)
Potluck:
Bring something (preferably vegetarian) to contribute to the potluck - bring enough food for yourself/family and a bit to share. The primary focus of the ‘Locavore’ potluck is to promote eating whole foods, in their nature-made state, focusing on fresh food from local sources (or as local as possible). If not FROM BACKYARD then locally produced. If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic. If not ORGANIC, then Family farm. If not FAMILY FARM, then Local business. If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.
Freedom Garden Swap 'n Meet:
Join local homegrown revolutionaries - swap crops, seeds, expertise and more. Growing for 21st century food security, FreedomGardens.org is a free interactive, online social community of gardening enthusiasts who are fed up with foreign oil, frequent food miles and high food prices.
Suggested donation of $10 paid in advance or $15 at the door (couples $20 at the door). (Children under 12 are free.) A small suggested donation helps pay for facility rental, sound system, and purchase of eco friendly compostable dinnerware.
** Space is limited (100 seats) so please RSVP SOON! See website, linked above, to RSVP! **

Larry says:
Please RSVP soon! If the good folks at Path to Freedom don't get enough folks attending this event they'll have to CANCEL and reconsider hosting ANY other Film & Food Nights. So, even if you have seen the film before, consider this event an opportunity to support future events. I've been a supporter of their good green work since meeting them in 2005, so want to see their events continue!
