Meet me at The Grand for a Food, Inc. conversation on Sunday
I'll lead a post-movie discussion on Suday
Posted by Ed Murrieta in Industry Issues, Media, South Sound Eats, Tacoma
No comments
First you should read Soren Andersen's review of "Food, Inc.," a South Sound Eats exclusive. Then you should attend Sunday's 7 p.m. screening at The Grand Cinema in Tacoma. Afterward, I'll lead a discussion of the documentary that probes the ugly side of industrial food production in America. To sweeten the deal, I'll serve vegan and gluten-free sweets from Corina Bakery. The weeklong engagement of "Food, Inc." is a fund-raiser for the Tacoma Food Coop: $1 from every ticket sold will go the budding grocery store effort.
