The End of Food? June 11, 2008

From food riots around the world to an obesity epidemic in the U.S, mad cow disease to GMOs, are we seeing the End of Food as We Know it? Are we doomed to eat ecologically damaging, over-priced, corporate-produced junk-food? What is sustainable agriculture and how can we get there? Must we think globally yet eat locally? Join a provocative conversation between NPR's Michel Martin (host of Tell Me More) and Paul Roberts, author of the brand new book The End of Food, Wednesday, June 11th at 7:15 pm the Washington Ethical Society in NW DC. Refreshments provided. Books available for sale and signing. Ample street parking (on 16th). Co-sponsored with Politics & Prose bookstore. www.ethicalsociety.org. 202-882-6650. This free event is part of Spark! - The ThinkingOutLoud Speaker series.
