The possible dangers of some foods on supermarket shelves will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Wednesday, March 21 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
The program, titled “Dangerous Food: Is Your Supermarket Killing You?” features a filmed interview with Joel Salatin, author of Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal: War Stories From the Local Food Front and Holy Cows and Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer’s Guide to Farm Friendly Food.
In the interview Salatin explains America’s lack of concern regarding the source of food is causing issues with health and well-being.
“The level of personal involvement in food is at an-all time low,” Salatin says. “Around 25 percent of America’s food is consumed in automobiles. Around 70 percent of Americans have no clue what they are going to have for dinner at 4 p.m. We are really disconnected.”
During the session Lifetree participants will have an opportunity to discuss the role the government should play in deciding food choices and discover strategies for healthier eating.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at the Bachwell Center, 116 N. Washington Street, Van Wert, OH. Please enter on Court Street and park behind the Courthouse.
