Transition Cornwall + Food Action Group presents on Saturday, January 28th at 1:30 pm.
At the Cornwall Public Library, the free public showing of the film Just Eat It.
How could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of our food in the trash?
Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people are food insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant's addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue, the "thrill of the find" has unexpected consequences.
Everyone is welcome to view the film and join a short discussion at the end.
