Slow Food and Whole Foods Take Back Our Plates
Categories: Gastronomic Gatherings

Thanks to Whole Foods and Slow Food USA, I have absolutely no excuse now. The pair is launching a nationwide program called the Retake Our Plates Film Series, and it's hitting theaters across the country April 17 and 18.
Locally, that means screenings of King Corn, Big River, The Garden, Fast Food Nation, and Food, Inc. at Cinema Paradiso (503 SE Sixth St., Fort Lauderdale).
The idea, says the PR, is to trigger awareness and encourage action to remedy the problems facing the U.S. food system. Through these films, Whole Foods and Slow Food hope to start a discussion among consumers about what it is, exactly, that they're eating.
The films will cost $7 to attend, and a drawing will be held for Earth-friendly prizes beforehand. Plus, you can meet with like-minded Slow Food Glades to Coast members (the local chapter of Slow Food) and get more info on participating.
As for me, I'll be popping King Corn into my DVD player this week. Guaranteed.
Here's the schedule:
April 17-
2:30 p.m. King Corn/Big River
4:30 p.m. Fast Food Nation
April 18-
Noon The Garden
2 p.m. Food, Inc.
