A work in progress:  Food Patriots
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqLJ4u3uco4]
Food Patriots is a film and public engagement campaign with a goal to start a conversation about food that inspires audiences to make a 10% change in the way they buy, eat and talk about food.
After Super Size Me and Food Inc. many Americans are beginning to take their first steps already. That means 10% more fresh veggies, 10% more local food, 10% more organics. Food Patriots will show how our buying power, our growing power, our community power challenges an industrialized food system to respond to people’s demand for healthier food and to know from where it comes.
It’s not rude to ask about food!
