Real Food- The Next Big Thing? | Washington Times Communities
'FRESH'' - The Film. In the Baltimore area and through my Conscious Cooking platform, I am going to partner with an area local food establishment to host a screening of 'Fresh." Come watch this incredibly important film to learn more about your immediate food environment and the effects we have to change the larger ecological and agricultural affluence worldwide.
'FRESH' doesn't have the support of major distribution media and movie companies to help promote its message. Only through events like this - personal, community gatherings and discussions - are what will help inspire the growth of FRESH's message and likewise, serve as a catalyst for change.
I hope you'll join us in a friendly, comfortable and educational setting to view 'FRESH' in Baltimore on April 30, 2010. The exact loaction will be determined in the next few days. As a sustainable chef and local food supporter, there will be plenty of delicious treats to accompany the event. Additionally, my role as a food advocate in the community and my passion for inspiring change first on the individual level means that there will welcomed discussion time before and after the film. I am interested to learn from your perspectives and to see how 'FRESH' confirms, inspires and perhaps shifts certain aspects of thought on our eating and cooking behaviors.
This film is part of a worldwide movement that is taking its toll on the food industry. The importance of becoming a conscious eater, a conscious cook, an informed food consumer, a supporter of local agriculture, etc...has become a priority. It's no longer an option, but a demand that communities and individuals are placing on the bigger agri-business corporations which are currently deciding what food we see on the shelves.
I am beyond thrilled each day when I see just one more sustainable or local food supported event, bill, article, film. One more farmers market. One more child interested in learning about planting seeds. People taking an active interest and concern in how their chickens, cows and/or pigs have been raised...conditions, feed, compassion.
Contact me to RSVP or ask questions about our screening and discussion of 'FRESH' the film screening.
**Space is limited. If interest is beyond capacity, additional screenings will be scheduled to accommodate everyone.
Peace,
Nicole Feldhaus
