The nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest is spearheading a Food Day as a nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food.
The American diet does more harm than it should to human health, the environment, to food and farm workers, and to animals raised for food. That’s why the second annual Food Day aims to use October 24 to raise consciousness on these and other food-related issues and inspire Americans from all walks of life to take action.
On an interactive map at FoodDay.org, more than 1,600 events have already been scheduled nationwide in schools, on campuses, and in government buildings, parks, and fairgrounds. Film screenings, debates, educational programs, and other activities will encourage people to learn about the health and environmental impact of their food choices, hunger and food access, corporate treatment of restaurant and farm workers, and the treatment of factory-farmed chickens, pigs, and cows.
