But I still have 94 monkeys to go

From the web site:

TEDxManhattan “Changing the Way We Eat” will take place January 21st, 2012, in New York City.  The one-day event will highlight several aspects of the sustainable food movement and the work being done to shift our food system from industrially-based agriculture to one in which healthy, nutritious food is accessible to all.

Viewing parties are being held nationwide. Mine is at the LFPL, with Mayor Fischer speaking at the break about “Local Food Initiatives.”

Lots of educational links from the site here.

I wish I had gotten to this before it sold out, but the challenge materials are free. I do think it’s a little ironic to be holding a sustainable-food event in the middle of a city, but it’s not as if you can’t eat locally here; you just may need to join a CSA or look a little further out.
