The new film The Age of Stupid is screening at select theaters worldwide tonight only! I know it is 8pm on Monday but it looks good if you are interested in the environment. Synopsis: “‘The Age of Stupid’ is the new cinema documentary from the Dir. of ‘McLibel’ & the Producer of the Oscar-winning ‘One Day in September’. This enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching ‘archive’ footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change while we had the chance?”

Do you remember the cafeteria food you had as a kid? It hasn’t gotten any better, in fact, it has gotten worse as demonstrated by recent widespread contaminated meat recalls, etc. The American diet in general is lacking, unbelievable levels of obesity and diabetes in children is shocking and undeniably traced back to diet. Meals poor in nutrition, high in fat, and high in preservatives, binders and other random unpronounceable additives are what sustain our children throughout the school day. Kids must have healthy food when they are expected to concentrate and perform at the levels that modern schools demand. It is impossible for anyone to function without the proper fuel. Slow Food USA has organized a chance for communities to come together and make a statement that the current way of highly processed, precooked, preserved and frozen foods is not good enough for our kids. Whole foods, nutritious foods, REAL food is what they need. Here are locations where you can become a part of this movement… No time to be there yourself? Make a donation or at least Sign their Petition.

In three days, people in all 50 states will sit down to share a meal and bend the direction of history just a little bit. Together, we are publicly rejecting the notion that our schools can’t afford to feed kids anything but the bad food that makes them sick. And the way we’re making this statement is by bringing neighbors together in the spirit of good will and for the joy of sharing good food. That is the heart of our movement.
