Grains of Change - Advocating for Wholesome Food?

Powerful advocacy to connect people with real food instead of frozen pizza is on the rise. Featured in the teaser video above, Michael Nischan from The Wholesome Food Movement is no mirage, he's a true oasis of healthy food in low income urban communities and other locales desperately in need of a farmer's market. Nischen is also chef/owner of a Connecticut restaurant co-founded with the late organic guru, Paul Newman. Enough said.

Now, here's your chance to meet Green Food changemakers working in the trenches today. The Sundance Channel's Grains of Change webdocumentary features eight leaders (the renegade lunch lady is one) bringing wholesome foods to their respective communities. All you need is eight minutes to leave inspired, and ready to weed the vegetable garden before a trip to your local farmers market.

Grains of Change was created in partnership with Kashi -- love their Go Lean cereal line. Kashi shelf space in a grocery cereal aisle bulging with sugar cereals is a welcome lifesaver. But that excitement is tempered by one ugly Big Food fact -- Kashi is owned by Kellogg's, the pusher of Frosted Flakes. It's called Big Organics, and here's who owns who. But remember, you still own those backyard veggies and are free to invite your local farmer's harvest over for dinner.
