FEATURED EVENT: Food in the City: A Sprout Spaghetti Dinner

This month's spaghetti dinner will be on Wednesday February 23 at sprout's studios just outside Davis Square at 339R Summer St.  Food Not Bombs will be serving the spaghetti at 730PM with performances and presentations starting at 8PM.  The theme for this month's sprout spaghetti dinner is Food in the City

When we think about the origins of food, we might imagine hunter gatherers or yeoman farmers or industrial agriculture. As city dwellers in the 2010s, what are the politics of the food we eat? Where does it come from? How does it get here? How much choice do we have in the matter? Who decides where to put grocery stores in urban neighborhoods? Wh at happens to the food leftover in cafes and groceries after the lights go out? What happens to the wild foods growing around the city? Who even knew there were wild foods growing around the city?

This month's presenters and performers include ::

+ Tai Dinnan from Groundwork Somerville on maple tree tapping
+ The Millstone Coop on backyard chickens
+ Nick Patch on urban foraging
+ Food Not Bombs
+ The Davis Square Yogurt Making Co-op
+ Keith Simmons on subirrigated gardening
