Alfalfa House presents 'FOOD, Inc'

Thu Sep 30 2010

“Bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad – filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the food industry, exposing the underbelly of big corporation food production and the dangers it presents. Food Inc touches on issues of consumer health, the livelihood of farmers, worker safety and what is happening to our environment, often with the consent of regulatory agencies.” www.foodincmovie.com/about-the-film.php

7pm food and music - The Thingos, featuring Lisa McIntosh on piano and Paul Hayward on guitar
8pm film starts - surprise short film before screening of FOOD, Inc.

RAFFLE: Organic olive oil and wine hamper donated by member Rhys Goodey of Ark Wine Agencies plus a Lucky Door Prize

All funds raised will go towards improving the co-op. This year it’s to buy new nut butter machines or to repair our two existing machines, which are getting close to their use-by dates.
