Monday I met up with the farm Bureau in Sacramento, California. We just sat down to order and began to talk about how the general pubic had disengaged from farming and knew little about how their food was produced when, a group of young people started dancing in front of the restaurant. As we latter found out their from the URJ, the acronym on the front of a pamphlet they handed out. Who is the URJ? after googling them, they are the Union Reform Judaism. What were they doing? they were protesting about food justice. According to the pamphlet their for GM but against it, their for eating meat but not is it's done commercially, they want all their food produced locally and think chickens should get more sunlight. My lunch companions took all the credit for the live example of how detached we are from our food production and we then ordered lots of meat.
The lunch was great, thanks to the Jammie and the farm Bureau for putting on such a great show.
