Screening: March 04, 2012 at New People Cinema. SF Premiere. Panel discussion: Chew the Fat: Reinventing School Lunches After watching Cafeteria Man, please join us and the filmmaker for a panel discussion around agriculture and the challenges of eating locally and sustainably within our current system. We will talk with panelists who are meeting those challenges while dealing with the established norms of institutions and systems geared in the opposite direction. We hope to provoke a conversation that will motivate those in their community to ignite or flame the movement around food security, health, and sustainability.
