Description:
Sustainable Blacksburg and Friends of the Blacksburg Farmers Market present a screening of the movie "Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story" followed by a panel discussion at The Lyric Theatre on Tuesday, May 3, 2022.

"Just Eat It" is a 74-minute not rated documentary film about food waste and food rescue. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash? Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. What they find is truly shocking.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

Doors open at 6:30 PM and the movie starts at 7:00 PM.
