Good, Clean, Fair Food--Can We Have It All?
Town Hall Seattle
Seattle, WA
Our nation's current healthcare debate and growing interest in media including Fast Food Nation, In Defense of Food, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, and Food, Inc. are shining a light on our food system like never before. Erika Lesser, executive director of Slow Food USA, will lead a lively discussion, Good, Clean, Fair Food Can We Have It All? on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 from 7-9pm at Town Hall Seattle. The true costs of our current food system and its consequences to our health, the environment, food and farm workers and our communities will be examined, and the intricate balance of interests involved in creating a food system that is good, clean, affordable and fairly produced will be explored by Erika, organic orchardist Adolfo Alvarez, PCC nutrition educator Goldie Caughlan, farm labor activist Rosalinda Guillen, and community activist Teresa Mares, co-coordinator of the Food Justice Project. Proceeds benefit the Laurel Rubin Farm Worker Justice Project (www.c4ej.org/ow_laurel.html).
