3-4pm Author/Editor KARL WEBER at the Mountain Cinema (2nd floor). Karl Weber, author of Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It, will speak about the documentary. Food, Inc. (screening at 4:45pm) is guaranteed to shake up your perceptions of what you eat. The film is a powerful documentary deconstruction of the corporate food industry in America. The book adds to the film's themes by answering questions like Where does my food come from? Who's processed it? Who and what are the giant agribusinesses? What stake do they have in maintaining the "food" status quo? The book answers these questions through a collection of thoughtful essays written by Michael Polan, Eric Schlosser and other notables in the field. Karl Weber is a writer and editor based in New York. He collaborated with Muhammad Yunus on his bestseller, Creating a World Without Poverty, edited The Best of I.F. Stone, and with Andrew W. Savitz, co-authored The Triple Bottom Line: How's Today's Best-Run Companies Are Achieving Economic, Social, and Environmental Success -- And How You Can, Too.
