Media & the Politics of Food
Wednesday, November 15th, 6:30 to 8:00 pm

When it comes to food, what you don't know can hurt you, and the media constantly proclaims "new findings" to refute their "old new findings." Hear from the writers and chefs in the forefront of the new Food Movement, and learn why it's important to your health and the Planet Earth to know the facts. Join us to find out why food is becoming such a controversial topic. Book-signing follows.
