Hungry for Change

Hungry for Change explores the true meaning of the phrase "you are what you eat." This 6-week discussion course challenges participants to examine their roles, not only as consumers of food, but also as creators -- of food, of systems, and of the world we all live in. Each session includes readings, short assignments and accompanying discussion questions that address the impact of individual food choices on a range of issues, including ecosystem health, the treatment of factory and farm workers, and the global economy. Hungry for Change helps participants commit to lasting change by developing and sharing personal Action Plans with each session.

Purpose:

• To explore the interconnected nature of food systems and our relationships to them.
• To examine the impact our food choices have on our health, the health of others and the health of our planet.
• To consider the ethical and political implications of our current food system and our personal food choices.
