The May Sojourners is a special issue on food, featuring these great articles:
1. Shopping for Justice
Find out how our muzak-themed grocery shopping experiences are mostly
a label-designing, meat-coloring, cookie-positioning scheme to keep us
occupied and ignorant about what's in our carts.
2. A Farm Grows in Brooklyn
Fruits, vegetables, and hope are blossoming in Red Hook, a low-income
neighborhood struggling with high unemployment and a booming drug
trade. Read how a local farmers' market is sowing seeds for change.
3. Check Please!
What's the story behind each of the food items we buy? Surprise--it
involves pollution, long-distance travel, the use of fossil fuels, and
dangerous chemicals. We have thousands of food choices in America, but
at what cost?
4. Grub for Body and Soul
Food activists share new ideas for eating ethically. Hint: They
include "grub parties"--organic food, and great music--key provisions
for the food revolution.
5. Blessing the Hands That Harvest
With the help of churches, farm worker campaigns are raising awareness
of exploitation in agricultural jobs.
6. Dumpster Diving
Turn up your nose, but dumpster diving is one real option for living a
frugal, yet abundant, life.
