Food Justice

7/30/2010

 
Picture
Today we were lucky to have Lauren Samuelson from Alternatives 'Federal Credit Union join us to talk about financial opportunities- what our idea of success is, who is most easily afforded that success, what a hard working full time job leaves someone's life looking like depending on how high up they are in management, who makes the decisions on where money is allocated in a business and what factors in determining wealth are fair versus unfair.  These are hard topics, but Lauren made them fun and engaging through a couple of activities and discussions.

Next, our very own Kirtrina Baxter (see above) spoke to us and showed some films about food justice.  After giving a history of Black farmers, she showed the people's grocery video shown below which highlights People's Grocery, a nonprofit provider of fresh fruits and vegetables to low-income residents in West Oakland, California. 

When Kirtrina's wonderfully informative talk was over, we welcomed Meredith Palmer back as our chef.  She taught us how to make pizza on a grill using fresh ingredients.  It was absolutely delicious!
