Watch Food, Inc: September 22nd @ 9 PM on Young’s Commons at
Elon University
Come see the movie that reinforces the motivation behind the local
food revolution; Food, Inc.
"In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts
the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly
mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer
with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and
FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of
corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the
livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own
environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork
chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't
go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria
that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We
are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children,
and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults."
"Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric
Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's
Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like
Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin,
Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about
what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and
where we are
going from here."

New Location for Tonight's Show:
The showing of Food, Inc has been moved inside to the Oak 212 because the chance of rain and a scheduling issue in McKinnon.
The Oaks is the apartment/dorm complex on Williamson Street directly behind the gas station at the corner of Haggard and Williamson and directly across from the Koury Athletic Center and Fine Arts Bldg. There is a big parking lot adjacent to the building (as you can see from the google maps image below).
Come see the movie that reinforces the motivation behind the local
food revolution; Food, Inc. Join Company Shops Market at Elon
University on September 22nd @ 9 PM on Young’s Commons, which is the
grass between the library and Koury Athletic Center. Those attending
need to bring chairs or blankets. If it rains it will be in
McKinnon, which is right in the Moseley Center. You’ll never look at
dinner the same way.
