FireDogLake Movie Night Presents: FRESH

Ana Joanes chatted with FireDogLake readers & writers about the making of FRESH, what it means to her as a soon-to-be-mother and what we all can do to change the way America eats!  A few excerpts from the lively discussion are below, or click here to read the comments in full.

“I appreciated the emphasis on biodiversity and the discussion of the negative impact of monocultured plants and animals in Fresh..but I REALLY loved all the characters!”

“I hope all our readers interested in environmental and food issues take the time to watch it. It’s a great conversation starter on so many of the problems we face — and so many of the things that need to be tackled on a much larger scale, including the political influence involved in all of these things that makes change so difficult to achieve.
Thanks for the enormous amount of hard work that must have gone into this film.”
