Fresh-food nation

With the help of fast-food chains and, of course, Monsanto, there has been rampant food contamination, depletion of natural resources and increasing obesity rates. Fortunately, there are many people working to reinvent the food system to provide healthier and more sustainable food sources. Many of these farmers and entrepreneurs are featured in the film Fresh, which will show Friday, August 20, at 6:30 p.m. at Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op Community Learning Center, 1914 Alhambra Boulevard. Tickets are $7 and will benefit One Farm at a Time. Organic popcorn and beverages will be available. For more information, call (916) 455-2667 or visit www.sacfoodcoop.com.
