Description: Since facing the food problems of undersupply and malnourishment in the 1920s and 1930s, American agricultural policy has grown to promote a system that boasts big farms and even bigger food processing conglomerates that favor cheap commodities and long shelf life over fresh, healthy, flavorful food. Food Fight offers a fascinating look at how this food culture developed, and how the California food movement in the 1960s created a counterrevolution with values centered on local, tasty ingredients and healthy meals. From the Farm Bill to our daily food choices, we have the power to share in this revolution. Join us for this film screening and discussion to learn how.
