FILM DETAILS

 “Outstanding” - John Robbins, author of Diet for A New America 

Food Matters’ is a hard hitting, fast paced look at our current state of health. Despite the billions of dollars of funding and research into new so-called cures we continue to suffer from a raft of chronic ills and every day maladies. Patching up an over-toxic and over-indulgent population with a host of toxic therapies and nutrient sparse foods is definitely not helping the situation. 

‘Food Matters’ seeks to uncover the business of disease and at the same time explore the safe, cheap and effective use of nutrition and supplementation for preventing and often reversing the underlying causative aspects of the illness. With the premise of the film being: access to solid information helps people invariably make better choices for their health. 

The ‘Food Matters’ duo have independently funded the film from start to finish in order to remain as unbiased as possible, delivering a clear and concise message to the world.

POTLUCK DETAILS

Bring something (preferably vegetarian) to contribute to the potluck - bring enough food for yourself/family and a bit to share. The primary focus of the ‘Locavore’ <http://www.pathtofreedom.com/eatlocal.htm>  potluck is to promote eating whole foods, in their nature-made state, focusing on fresh food from local sources (or as local as possible) 

If not FROM BACKYARD then locally produced. 

If not LOCALLY PRODUCED, then Organic. 

If not ORGANIC, then Family farm. 

If not FAMILY FARM, then Local business. 

If not a LOCAL BUSINESS, then Fair Trade.
