At the restaurant last night I was chatting with a wonderful couple from Iowa that fairly recently choose to change their eating habits and become vegetarians. The shocking part of me was that they were farmers, not animal farmers but growers.
They had such great ideas and perspectives into buying local and being sustainable. They suggested a documentary called, FRESH. This morning I had a chance to watch it, and I would highly, highly recommend it.
Although it is an older documentary, made in 2009, there are still many relevant ideas about ways to product healthy organic food instead of growing everything in factories with GMO’s sprayed on everything.
Country farmers, urban farmers, and business people explain how changes by consumers can change the way the market acts and re-invent our food system. People from all walks of life including supermarket owners, consumers and entrepreneurs weigh in on how to challenge the Wal-Mart dominating economy.
The slogan, “new thinking about what we’re eating” really hit home for me. I always try buying local and growing my own fruits and vegetables to reduce the need for big factory farms and “super super markets.” Having fresh food on every plate is nearly normal in today’s society, but how much of that fresh food is actually fresh and not genetically modified?
FRESH uses its platform to educate and raise awareness of more sustainable and healthier food from local growers. I believe in sustainable food and the impact it can make on a community in a health aspect and economically. I stand by FRESH in taking back our food system.
I encourage you to take the time to watch this incredible and innovative documentary that became a massive grassroots success. If you do not have time to watch the entire documentary now, please watch the trailer and take action on their website found here.
Go Green and Stay Keen,
