Cahners Theater

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has teamed up with the Museum of Science to show the critically acclaimed Food, Inc., by filmmaker Robert Kenner.

The film features interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward-thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farm's Joel Salatin. Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking — truths about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation, and where we are going from here.

Following the screening, Stonyfield Farms Chairman, President, and CE-Yo Gary Hirshberg; Rialto chef / owner Jody Adams; and Green City Growers founder Jessie Banhazl discuss possible solutions to the environmental concerns raised by our current methods of food production and consider questions from the audience.

The screening takes place in Cahners Theater; doors open at 1:30 p.m. The event is free, but space is limited; please register by following the link above.
