Conscious Eating: How Food Choices Affect Your Health and the Natural World

Location

What you choose to eat is the single most important thing you do for--or against--the environment.  As Wendell Berry has written, "Eaters must understand that eating takes place inescapably in the world, that it is inescapably an agricultural act, and that how we eat determines, to a considerable extent, how the world is used."
Join us in a discussion of food choices that cause the least harm to the planet, the creatures on it, and our health.
