Urban Diggs are hosting an “interactive evening of sustainable tables & ethical eats” on February 22nd. Held at\u00a0The River Market<\/a>\u00a0in New Westminster. \u00a0Learn more about how you can still eat meat without guilt. \u00a0GLV<\/p>\n

Bite-sized delights made with locally sourced, sustainable meat will be served and a film featuring\u00a0Joel Salatin<\/a>\u00a0who uses a system of pasture rotation to produce pork, beef and chicken in a way that is both economically and environmentally sustainable will be shown. The film also respectfully presents conventional ways of meat production through the eyes and stories of commodity farmers. After a short break there’s a panel discussion with industry representatives & consumers to explore some of the themes of the film and consider how personal choices can move our food system and our culture in a more sustainable, ethical direction.<\/p>\n

Join us for an evening to stimulate your palate and your mind. \u00a0We’ll tickle your tastebuds with a beverage & a selection of bite-sized delights. Then we’ll be screening a thought-provoking, well-balanced film featuring Joel Salatin who uses a system of pasture rotation to produce pork, beef and chicken in a way that is both economically and environmentally sustainable. The film also respectfully presents conventional ways of meat production through the eyes and stories of commodity farmers. After a short break we’ll come back for a panel discussion with industry representatives & consumers to explore some of the themes of the film and consider how we could make personal choices that will ultimately move our food system and our culture in a more sustainable, ethical direction.<\/p>\n

About the Food:<\/p>\n

Enjoy a variety of delicious bite-sized creations from\u00a0Longtail Kitchen<\/a>, and\u00a0Re-up BBQ<\/a>\u00a0featuring sustainable meat\u00a0sourced from local farms. Wash it all down with a locally made craft beer from Coal Harbour Brewing Co.<\/p>\n

About the Film:<\/p>\n

American Meat<\/a>\u00a0is a pro-farmer look at chicken, hog and cattle production. While the film features farmers in the United States, the primary issues are just as relevent here in Canada.<\/p>\n

Beginning with a history of our current industrial system, the feedlots and confinement operations are unveiled, not through hidden cameras, but through the eyes of the farmers who live and work there. From there, the story shifts to Polyface Farms, where the Salatin family has developed an alternative agricultural model based on rotational grazing and local distribution. Nationwide, a local-food movement of farmers, chefs, and everyday people has taken root… But could it ever feed us all?<\/p>\n
