Slow Food Atlanta Eat-in at Piedmont Park 9/7
Slow Food Atlanta is organizing an eat-in at Piedmont Park on Sept. 7 to support the use of fresh veggies and the elimination of processed foods in schools.
Organizers, including Lady Rogue of Rogue Apron, hope to make it the biggest picnic in Atlanta (not sure if that would be the biggest this year, the biggest ever, or what, but they want it to be big!).
Here’s part of the email I received from Lady Rogue:
ATLANTA’S BIGGEST PICNIC WITH A GREAT CAUSE!!!
Woohoo, that sounds more interesting, right? Basically, school lunches blow. We could make them better by adding vegetables, instead of all that processed bullhonky. So, let’s have a giant picnic, and join 181 other picnics nationwide in a show of support. Neat, huh?
Essentially, I am trying to pluck out “influencers” in our community, invite them to a BYOB grassroots organizing session August 5th where SFA leader Judith Winfrey can get ‘em all informationalized, and then set them loose to help publicize this event amongst their circles.
RSVP link for the informational session is here: tinyurl.com/rogueeatin.
