Getting Wasted: L.A.’s food excess
https://www.scpr.org/events/2013/05/20/getting-wasted-las-food-excess/
Forums about food issues typically focus on access, origin, health. What’s often missing from those talks is conversation about excess: not in body weight, or in the types of food abundantly available in some areas and sorely lacking in others, but in what’s thrown out or wasted in the day-to-day.
On Monday, May 20, be part of an audience-inclusive, moderated discussion at The Crawford Family Forum that’ll explore how industry, community, policy, and individual efforts to both share and reduce the “extra” might move Los Angeles toward a more food-secure future.
Guests:
– Robert Egger – DC Central Kitchen and forthcoming L.A. Kitchen founder
– Michael Flood – LA Regional Food Bank CEO
– Dr. Jonathan Fielding, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Director and Health Officer
– Bonnie Lee and Jean-Francois Chenier, 222 Million Tons blog and app creators
Moderator:
– Desiree Gutierrez
6:30 p.m. – Doors Open
7:00 p.m. – Program
