The community is invited to come and discuss food in all
its political, economic and ethical aspects in the Hubbard Room tonight, November 8th, at 6:30pm.
Issues of food justice will be
introduced. From basic survival needs to status-producing elegance, food
defines our culture and our history. Our relationships with food are both
personal and communal. In this country, we exist within a landscape in which
food – 'something that nourishes, sustains, or supplies’ -- is a tool used to
promote systemic injustice.
The discussion will be facilitated by Jeff Hush, the
founder of Food & Movement Therapy (famtusa.org)
working to bring clean food, water, and energy to all Americans.
Participants may wish to watch the TEDx talk by Winona
Laduke entitled Seeds of Our Ancestors, Seeds of Life on YouTube

The videos will also be shown at the beginning of the
discussion.
