Today is Food Day!

Food Day 2012

October 24 marks Food Day--"a nationwide celebration and movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food."  This event comes from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).  Food Day looks for organizations to host events, so hopefully by the time next October 24 rolls around, we will have our own events to participate in the celebration!

Food Day Events in Boston

Boston hosts many events, including over 200 schools committing to "Eat Real!" on October 24, nutritional workshops, Cabot creamery food samplings at Shaw's, and farm-to-table restaurant dinners.  Some events that caught our eye:

• dinner at Harvest Restaurant in Cambridge (Oct. 24, 6-8pm, reservations required)
• Harvard Sustainable Food Project film & discussion (Oct. 24, 7-9pm) at the PHBA Parlor Room
• the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival (Oct. 27-28)
• cider sampling and apple sale at Brookline Town Hall Plaza (Oct. 24, 12-3pm)

You can also always make your own commitment to eating good food on October 24 and beyond!
