SUMMARY:Food\, Inc. 2–Back for Seconds
DESCRIPTION:Food\, Inc. 2\, a documentary film about our food system\, will be shown on Wednesday\, October 2. After a long hiatus when we screened many documentaries on line\, we are excited to be presenting this film ‘in person’ at the Floyd Center for the Arts. \nJust like old times\, we will start with a potluck and follow up with a community discussion. We have invited three speakers to help start the discussion: Maureen McNamara Best from LEAP\, a Roanoke based nonprofit that supports local farmers and systems that provide local food for all: a farmer from Riverstone Organic Farm\, and organic vegetable production farm in Floyd and Stepahnie Legarda\, a health coach based in Floyd. \nWe will open the doors at 6:00pm with the potluck schedules to start at 6:15. If you plan to participate in the potluck\, bring a dish and be sure to bring serving utensils. In the interests of minimizing use of single use plates and cutlery we encourage you to bring your own\, along with a drink of your choice. \nThe film will start at 7:00pm and the discussion will follow immediately. \nFood\, Inc. ignited a conversation about the multinational corporations that control our food system at enormous cost to our planet. Food\, Inc. 2 comes “back for seconds” to reveal how unchecked corporate consolidation has left us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system. \nAlong with authors Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser\, the film introduces innovative farmers\, food producers\, workers’ rights activists\, and legislators who are facing these companies head-on and fighting to create a more sustainable future. \nAs for our earlier films\, there is no charge for this event\, however a suggested donation of $5 would be helpful in allowing us to continue this work. \nWe are most grateful to the Floyd Center for the Arts for their support of this screening.

SUMMARY:Native American Ritual Stone Construction in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Region
