PARTICIPATE
It's time to eat real, America. On October 24, 2012—and on the days and weeks before and after—thousands of Americans will gather in schools, college campuses, farmers markets, City Halls, and state capitals to talk about what's right and wrong with our diets and whole food system and how to fix them.
A Food Day event could be as simple as organizing a cooking class or a vegetable-identification contest in your child's elementary school—or a healthy pot-luck dinner with friends. College students could organize forums that explore how our dietary choices impact the environment, the health of farm workers, and the treatment of animals. Health departments could kick off weight-loss campaigns. And city councils could hold hearings on how to lure supermarkets and farmers markets to underserved areas.
How can Food Day improve health, solve food problems, or celebrate food success stories—in your community? It is literally up to you. Find an event in your hometown. Get in touch with Food Day organizers in your area. Or download a Food Day organizing guides—and put your own Food Day event on the map. Together, we can build a broad "real food" movement of Americans who want healthy, affordable, and delicious food produced in a sustainable and humane way.
