Free screening of Food, Inc. on Saturday at 1 PM in San Jose

[Guest guest]

Saturday, March 20, 1:00 PM: A free showing of the film " Food, Inc. " will be

given at Hillview Branch Library, 1600 Hopkins Drive, San Jose, in the library's

Community Room.

 

Drawing on Eric Schlosser's " Fast Food Nation " and Michael Pollan's " The

Omnivore's Dilemma " , this documentary (91 minutes, 2009) explores the food

industry's detrimental effects on our health and environment. It spotlights the

men and women who are working to reform an industry rife with monopolies,

questionable interpretations of laws and subsidies, political ties, and rising

rates of E. coli outbreaks.

 

This screening is free and open to the public. No reservations are required.

This is a program of Silicon Valley Reads 2010

(http://www.siliconvalleyreads.org/). This is an important film. If you

haven't seen it (or even if you have!), please come and see it.

 

Before the screening begins, volunteers from Santa Clara County Activists for

Animals (SCCAA) will be standing outside the library handing out literature

promoting plant-based diets.
