Dear elitist food snobs,
Oh, did I get your attention? I know firsthand that each and every one of you are on this mailing list for all the right reasons. However, some seem to doubt your reasons for commitment to a group like Slow Food. Slow Food members have been labeled everything from elitist, to exclusive, to a movement unable to effect real change on the world’s food system.
The graduate students working towards the CHANGE certificates are seeking a more nuanced understanding of the motivations of campus eaters in general… so, at this Thursday’s regularly scheduled meeting, we have the distinct pleasure of being joined by CHANGE students who will conduct a focus group discussion on Slow Food members’ eating habits, motivations, taste, future ideas, etc. They need 6-10 of us to tell them why Slow Food is important enough for us to devote massive amounts of time to it.
If you want to get some food issues off of your chest, now is the time to do it!
Plus, the icing on the cake is the presentation (finally!) of “The Price of Sugar,” a documentary film about the sugar industry and labor abuses in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
For more information on the movie, and to see the trailer, go to: http://www.thepriceofsugar.com/

Hi, Where can I get a copy of the Price of Sugar, or would you be willing to do a showing of it in my home on the east side (Isthmus)?
Thank you,
