Local food justice in Springfield, Holyoke and Greenfield.
2. Are you serious about food justice or will you go home later and eat a pesticide burger?
I’m serious within my economic means, I stay as aware as possible.
3. How/Why did you get interested in food justice?
I got interested when I started reading The Omnivores Dilemma.
4. How do you feel about the cows, chickens, and pigs being injected with growth hormones?
Now that I know about it, I feel grossed out! It’s very wrong to do that to animals and not tell the people who are eating them.
5. What is the first thing you think of when you hear “Food Justice”?
When I hear food justice, I think of equality starting from the crops and animals to the consumers and everything in between.
6. How has food justice changed what you eat?
After I learned about food justice through the book The Omnivores Dilemma and the food justice conference at the Northeastern University, my family and I have changed our eating habits in order to take a stand against food injustice.
7. How do you think you can get the word out about food justice in the Community?
I think that communities need to support their local farmers by asking that their foods be brought to often sought out stores. Also being aware about over paying for certain things because a store has a monopoly in your community.
8. In the world?
I think that we should start locally and spread globally and not give up when things get hard because changes don't happen over night.
