MCUUF received a lovely invitation from Bethel Congregational to join them in a biweekly discussion of the book: Food & Faith, Justice, Joy & Daily Bread , Edited by Michael Schut; With Wendell Berry et al. The group begins June 30 and will meet biweekly...Review: "Food -- it's enough to drive you bananas: you are what you eat... food pyramids... organics... mad cow disease... animal rights... Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). Finally, a resource that examines food choices through the lens of faith. In bite-sized pieces, you'll learn to recognize and celebrate food as sacramental, consider the implications of food choices and find help to embody love and compassion in the wider world.
In a rare collection of voices, the authors of Food & Faith prompt us to explore the meaning of our meals. Here Vandana Shiva, Eric Schlosser, M.F.K. Fisher, Wendell Berry and many other authors explore basic issues related to food: its sacramental character, its connections to health, the demise of the family farm, the human and ecological impacts of industrial agribusiness, questions of genetically modified organisms and world hunger. A diversity of voices and a helpful study guide point to promising directions both individuals and communities can take to bring about a healthier and more equitable world through the food we eat. "
