Hi Everyone,
The Long Island Food Conference Comes to LIU-Post on November 3rd, with a Pre-Conference Documentary Screening of “What the Health” on Friday Evening, November 2nd.
The Long Island Food Coalition is once again organizing a conference you will not want to miss! To wet 
your palate, we will have a pre-conference screening on Friday evening, November 2nd at 7:30 pm, of the documentary film, “What the Health“. This film examines the link between diet 
and disease, and exposes the collusion, corruption, and influence that big business has on our governments policies. There are billions of dollars at stake, and this explains why they have incentive to keep us sick! Following the film, there will be a discussion and Q & A session with Dr. Charles Ventresca of Birch Hill Natural Medicine. Please come and watch this eye opening exposé!
The Long Island Food Conference will be returning to Long Island at LIU Post, with the theme; Food As the Solution! This is an all day event, with Frances Moore Lappé, the author of Diet for a Small Planet and co-founder of the Small Planet Institute, kicking off the event as our keynote speaker. We have two panels scheduled for the morning, Food Policy and Justice, with Tom Colicchio and Karen Washington, followed by a panel on Food and Climate Change, with representatives from Food and Water Watch, 
NOFA-NY and Feedback. A plant based catered lunch will be served to all, with time to visit our pop-up Farmers Market, our exhibitor booths and our onsite book store! In the afternoon, we have two more panels scheduled. The first one is Food as Medicine, with Dr. Robert Graham from FreshMed, Ellen Kamhi, The Natural Nurse, and Sally Fallon Morell, from The Weston Price Foundation. The last panel is on Growing Food, where we have Fred Lee from Sang Lee Farms, Michael Doall from Montauk Shellfish Co, Fran Whittelsey from Gateway Community Garden and Stefan Oberman from Aero Farms. We will end the day with a little wine and cheese reception, and reflect on all of the wonderful inspiration that the day offered us. Space is limited, so get your tickets today, during the early bird pricing!
