From The Fair Food Project,
“Fair Food: Field to Table” is a multimedia presentation promoting a more socially just food system in the U.S. It was created by California Institute for Rural Studies and Rick Nahmias Photography.
Through the stories and voices of farmworkers, growers, businesses and fair food advocates, viewers of the documentary learn about the harsh realities of farmworker conditions and, more importantly, the promise of improved farm labor practices in American agriculture. The growing movement for “fair food” is tapping into rising consumer demand for food produced in accordance with their values. Click HERE for more information on The Fair Food Project.

Unbeknownst to the majority of the world, the extraordinarily sneaky Seuss Juice was sitting in a nook of the planet when a student made a comment about the transformation of language over time. It went something like this: “German Romantic thinkers hypothesized; the more language developed to create more direct ways to communicate from human to human, the more the ability to communicate on a telepathic level from human to human was diminished.” This brief-case bearing student then went on to explain one of his theories, “Using text messages, instant messenger, facebook chat, and other mediums of immediate communications from any point on the face of the planet to another, the most removed type of interaction, is ruining our youth’s ability to communicate on a personal level at all.”
When Seuss Juice decided to drop in on the screening of “The Garden” he noticed a correlation here. When the farmers had such an intimate connection with their food it made their nutrition a more tangible and real part of their life. We waddle into our local grocery store and fill our shopping carts with food imported from all over the world, and detaches us from the original source making it less connected to its place of origin. As food becomes more and more detached from its place of origin we find ourselves seeing stranger and stranger things in the grocery stores. Lunchables, fruit roll ups, cookie-crisps, the list goes on and on. But the fact of the matter is: you cant just read some print on a piece of plastic or a box to tell you what nutritional value the food has. The bottom line is nutrition has become a mental issue in society and it is no longer a physical and tangible part of our everyday life.
