FOOD FIGHT – Earth Amplified featuring Stic Man of Dead Prez

California seems to be leading the discussion on food justice issues occurring in low-income neighborhoods. Recently SOS Juice debuted a video titled, “Food Fight” about a boy who must escape a world where processed food is killing the members of his community. The villain in the video is the local corner store loaded with highly-marketed junk food. Along with this video is a complete curriculum for teachers to use to engage their students on the discussion of eco-literacy. To get a copy, click here.

Ron Finley gave an unforgettable presentation at this month’s TED conference. In this video, he describes his neighborhood as  “home of the drive-thru and the drive-by.” His vision is to turn South Central from a food dessert to a food forest. His delivery is poignant and inspirational. This is a must-watch!
