The PEI Food Security Network (with campus members Leo Cheverie and Jennifer Taylor) is hosting a "Kitchen Table Talk" on Tuesday, October 26 beginning at 4 pm in the Dalton Hall Dining Room in association with World Food Day. World Food Day is observed across Canada and is an initiative of the Peoples Food Policy Project. The PEI Food Security Network is a group committed to achieving food security for all Islanders, and enhancing the sustainability of our food system.

Everyone is welcome to attend and join in a lively discussion about food issues in PEI. Some "appetizing" questions for discussion could include...

1. Do you know where your food comes from and how it is grown?
2. What is your personal food policy? (What things do you try to do when you feed yourself and your family? What prevents you from living this?)
3. What has changed in the last 20 years that makes so many kids overweight? How is this related to the way our food system is organized?
4. Why is so little locally grown food in local grocery stores?
5. Why does my grocery bill keep going up while farmers keep going out of business?'
6. How can we make sure that the food our children get in school is healthy?
7. Why don't we have a national school food policy like most/all other G8 countries?
8. Why do we need a people's food policy?
   

Refreshments including fair trade items will be served.
