Lynne Betts, current President of DOFFA (Delaware Organic Food & Farming Association) will address questions such as where is Delaware in the "organic movement," what is sustainable agriculture, and what to ask for when purchasing healthy foods.  Is "organic" really all it's cracked up to be?

In The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan launched a national controversy about the American way of eating; now, in In Defense of Food, he shows us how to change it, one meal at a a time.  Pollan proposes a new answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words:  "Eat food.  Not too much.  Mostly plants."

Do you know what's in the food you eat?  Are you making healthy choices at the grocery store?  Is it possible to eat healthy at the drive-through?  Join us for free snacks, recipes, and ideas about how to eat and shop well, even if you're on a budget.  Don't forget to bring Mom and Dad.
