The Local Food Initiative’s 4th Annual Incredible Edible Film Fest starts on Tuesday, January 19,with the film Fed Up at the Community Centre starting at 6:30 pm. Members pay only $5, non-members pay $10. Refreshments will be available for purchase.
A statement from the LFI described Fed Up as “a documentary that will change the way you eat forever. Everything we’ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong. Fed Up is the film the food industry doesn’t want you to see.”
That certainly sounds intriguing.
The LFI is looking for volunteers to help with set up (from 6 until 6:30), food sales (6:15 until 9), and take down (from 9 until 9:30). If you can lend a hand please send an e-mail to Erin Wilkins at ewilkins@gmail.com.
The LFI’s next films are More Than Honey on February 16 and Open Sesame on March 16, followed by its annual Seed Swap on March 17. The LFI’s AGM is to be held on March 8.
