Join us for the fourth installment of the RFRS Book Club!For our next book club meeting, we're reading and discussing We the Eaters, If We Change Dinner, We Can Change the World, by Ellen Gustafson, a young entrepreneur, foreign policy expert, and food policy advocate. The implausible truth: Over one billion people in the world are hungry and over one billion are overweight. Far from complete opposites, hunger and obesity are in fact different manifestations of the same problem: It's increasingly difficult to find and eat nutritious food. By examining the global industrial food system using the deceptively simple template of a classic American dinner, We the Eaters not only outlines the root causes for this bizarre and troubling dichotomy, but also provides a blueprint of actionable solutions--solutions that could start with changing out just a single item on your plate.We look forward to an engaging discussion about ways we can bring awareness to the choices we make around the food we eat and how can participate in our local food movement.Space is limited, but we'll also post the video on Facebook after the gathering. We will have light snacks available at The Perennial. Drinks, both alcoholic and non are available for purchase.

About RFRS Book Club: We will discuss reading materials, curated by our storytellers, to deepen our knowledge of the changes we seek to create within our food system. In addition to our live storytelling gatherings, we're bringing some of our favorite written stories, books, articles, literature, memoirs, etc. from inspiring changemakers to share with our RFRS community.
You do not have to read the whole book to participate -- all are welcome!
