05/03/2009: "The Eating Continues"

Ethics, environmental impact, nutrition? There are a lot of issues when it comes to what we put into our mouths, explained Willow Blish, the organizer of the Slow Food in Boston screening of Eating Alaska.

I arrived at the screening just in time for a question and answer session and to the start of a panel including Willow, who has a background in fitness training that she's working to link to the way we eat, a young butcher/meat cutter and a local writer, named Andrew Rimus, co-author of Beef: The Untold Story of How Milk, Meat and Muscle Shaped the World.

Meanwhile, screenings continue with local food potlucks, bee keepers and farmers, salmon smoking classes and more:
