Fresh is a new documentary celebrating the rising movement of farmers, thinkers and business people who are reinventing our food system across America. Each has witnessed the current industrial model's consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources and obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for our future. Among several onscreen figures, Fresh features urban farmer and activist Will Allen, sustainable farmer and entrepreneur Joel Salatin, The Omnivore's Dilemma author Michael Pollan and Kansas City supermarket owner David Ball, who stocks his stores with products from local suppliers. Seeking to prod us away from cynicism or resignation, Fresh is a call to action that all of us can support a new type of food system that is viable and healthy for all consumers.

This is wonderful to see. I think it is critically important to eat local, preferably something you have growing right outside your back door. I know it is not feasible for everyone. But progress towards as fresh and whole as can be.... that will make a real difference in our health and well being.

Fresh is best. Get to know the ones growing, producing your food, what is more intimate afterall than what you put into your body each and everyday!

It is a sacred thing, to me. Hence why breaking bread with people is truly a spiritual experience, it is an honour and gets to the very heart of what makes us tic.

Food of life. Love.

real and whole~
