November Bookclub Newsletter

Dear Bookclub,
We have a new date for November, Wednesday the 19th, which is very happy in everyone's calendar.
Let's meet at my house for lunch... how can it be any other way??!



The Change Dinner Project

“Change Dinner is the idea of coming back to the table to become activists in our own home, at our own table, with our own friends and family, in our own communities. Because, by making better food choices, and purchasing your food in a different way, and understanding where your food comes from, you can actually have a huge impact on the way food is produced and consumed around the world” – Ellen Gustafson

Gustafson's book, "We the Eaters" will come as no surprise to our savy, lucky-to-live-in-San Diego-tummies and minds. Her description of our food system, aptly described in this La Jolla TED talk, is disheartening and thought-provoking:

Gustafson has co-founded several projects ranging from "FEED" to "The Food Tank", admirably spreading her message via several avenues. Please check out her website, and drop-downs under projects, to learn more:

Eating and Reading Responsibly,
