Subject: Movie and Chris Bedford Lecture Tuesday April 18 **Please Forward Widely** This Tuesday, April 18, MSU will have the honor of hosting local Director Chris Bedford after showing his recent 30-minute film, "What Will We Eat?" This is a new film that reveals the growing crisis in industrial agriculture and how a grassroots coalition of consumers and small farmers is inventing a healthy, humane, homegrown alternative. Filmed primarily in Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Missouri, "What Will We Eat?" focuses on the success of the Sweetwater Local Foods Market in Muskegon - Michigan's first farmers market to exclusively sell local produce raised according to organic standards and products from animals raised humanely. The story is told through interviews with John Ikerd, Fred Kirschenmann, Michael Hamm and John Biernbaum and the voices and experiences of small farmers and their customers. The film will play at 7PM in 118 Psychology, followed by a brief lecture at 7:30. Hope to see you there! excerpt from http://www.localharvest.org/member/M10155
