Diabetes. Heart Disease. Obesity. What is going on in our society? Why are we so sick? The next film in Slow Food’s 2011 Winter Film Series explores these issues, and even tries to make some recommendations for what we can do to stop sliding down this slippery slope of illness.
On Sunday February 13th at 2:00PM come by the Museum of Science (co-sponsor of the event)Â for a screening of Forks Over Knives, an amazing and eye-opening documentary about the connection between our diet and the diseases that are so prevalent in our society today.
Now, the health side of the eating equation isn’t our normal stomping ground, we know — but encouraging folks to eat more sustainably is. And we believe that eating more sustainability means eating closer to the source: locally grown fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised antibiotic & hormone free meats and dairy…. (You know the drill by now!) Eating sustainably also means cooking more, taking time to enjoy the process of preparing and eating your meals. And frankly, we believe that all of this dovetails nicely into the questions raised in the film. Because it is our oh-so-humble opinion that many of society’s health related ills could be solved by eating this way.
But enough of the soap box rant! Come check out the film for yourself, and learn more from the *special* speaker planned for afterward. We can guarantee you’ll walk away with your eyes opened wide and a few small changes ready in your toolbox! $5 fee. Reserve now at   www.slowfoodboston.com/reserve.cfm?eno=851.
