A NEW THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE EATING
"FRESH" by Ana Sofia Joanes March 17 at 12:30 Balch Springs Library 12450 Elam Rd
FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across
America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the
rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and
confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental
pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging
healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for
a future of our food and our planet. https://action.freshthemovie.com

Happy New Year, readers! If you're like me and a large section of the population, you've probably been making a few resolutions during the past 24 hours. If so, were any of yours reading-related?
