What's on your plate (this week)?

You all know that Omnivore’s Dilemma (by Michael Pollan) has been selected as this year's Common Book, right? And you'll have it read by August, right? Good.

To jumpstart your thinking about food and sustainability, you should also head to Belcourt this weekend. Why? The Food on Film Week = panel discussions, screenings of 4 films, food info/expo, and more!
