[UUCP] THIS FRIDAY - "JUST EAT IT" FILM SCREENING

[Liandra Pires]

*PLEASE JOIN UUCP THIS FRIDAY AT 7:30 PM FOR A FILM SCREENING OF "JUST EAT
IT", A 74-MINUTE FILM ABOUT FOOD WASTE AND FOOD RESCUE.*


*DID YOU KNOW THAT 40% OF ALL FOOD GROWN AND RAISED IN THE U.S. IS NOT
CONSUMED? FARMERS ARE PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT TO DELIBERATELY DUMP THEIR
CROPS AND ALLOW THEM TO ROT IN FIELDS. SUPERMARKETS THROW OUT PERFECTLY
GOOD FOOD ON A DAILY BASIS INTO DUMPSTERS, MUCH OF IT NOT IN BIODEGRADABLE
CONTAINERS TO BE BROUGHT TO LANDFILLS.*


*MEANWHILE IN 2014 THERE WERE 48.1 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN FOOD INSECURE
HOUSEHOLDS, 16.2 MILLION OF THEM WERE CHILDREN. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN
THE RICHEST NATION IN THE WORLD? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT ARE OUR
PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE ROLES IN ENDING IT? FILMMAKERS AND FOOD LOVERS, JEN
AND GRANT DIVE INTO THE ISSUE OF FOOD WASTE FROM FARM AND RETAIL, RIGHT TO
THE BACK OF THEIR OWN FRIDGE. IN A DELICIOUSLY ENTERTAINING CHALLENGE, THEY
PLEDGE TO QUIT GROCERY SHOPPING AND SURVIVE ONLY ON DISCARDED FOOD.*


*JOIN US FOR THIS INFORMATIVE AND COMPELLING FILM. THERE WILL BE A
DISCUSSION AND REFRESHMENTS AFTER THE FILM.*
