Free Showing of FOOD Inc

Students Striving for Sustainability,Environmental Political Interactive Change,and the Social Action Committee of Aquinas College are offering a free showing of Food Inc. This movie delves into the American agricultural system and the policies which affect our country. The film reveals the systemic connection between the importance of buying local and organic food with what we eat, how it is produced and the prevalent human illnesses like diabetes, obesity, cancer and lack of proper nutrition. Dots are also connected with genetic engineering, farm worker protection, ethical animal treatment and the environmental impacts of our agriculture system.
Please stay after for a Q&A from our two sponsors Slow Food, West Michigan Co-op and friends from Crane Dance Farm, Fulton Street Farmers Market and Local First . They will be talking about their organizations and answering questions about the challenges and opportunities we face within the American agricultural system.
