“The food movement embraces a great range of issues that have in common demands for more healthful alternatives to the current food system, as well as more meaningful—moral, ethical, and sustainable—alternatives.”
Two Goals:1. “to create a food system that promotes health and
protects the environment “2. “to support individual responsibility for food choice
with collective responsibility—community, government, corporate—so as to make it easier for people to eat more healthfully”
Marion Nestle, Food Politics, x-xi (2007)

Time: “Why the Food Movement is Becoming an Environmental Force”
By Brian Welsh; February 15, 2011
• “That’s the food movement
today: farming and eating
and health and policy and
business, all jostling for
position and influence, but
increasingly finding a
common cause.”
