Fun Food Videos

I’ve been watching a lot of videos lately, and I’ve posted a couple that talk about the benefits of organic and local food and how knowing where your food comes from is that beginning of making meaningful change.

Here the folks at Earthbound Farm put together a video about the reasons for choosing organic as a safe food choice. Earthbound is the largest organic grower in the U.S. – farming on 33,000 acres in southeastern California, southern Arizona, and northern Mexico.

This second film is about the People’s Grocery in west Oakland, where director Brahm Ahmadi describes food as being both intimate and universal to everyone as he talks about food justice. Ahmadi isn’t just talking about food here, he’s talking about the injustice and food insecurity of poor urban communities. It brings way more to the table than the question of where your food comes from (although People’s Grocery addresses that too). There are other videos with Ahmadi, so if he gets you excited, be sure to watch the rest of them. This video comes from the Global Oneness website, a remarkable website about changes happening in the world regarding food, economic, social justice and the changing face of communities.
