Food

Special Performance at the 2008 ACM: JUST FOOD 

The Kingston Unitarian Fellowship will present the play “JUST FOOD” following the Multigenerational lunch in the cafeteria on Sunday.  This performance will feature giant puppets, story banners and original music, and will explore some of the perils of our global food system and the benefits of eating locally.  Written and directed by Gordon Darrall and Reverend Wendy Luella Perkins, this multigenerational show of performers will be enjoyed by an audience of all ages.   

Thinking Green at Mealtime! 

Vegetarian meals will be offered throughout the 2008 ACM.  Before you dine – consider the following:

  • Killing a sentient being is seen by some to be unethical / immoral;
  • The treatment of animals raised for mass-produced meat, milk and eggs is often cruel;
  • Environment: Meat production uses much more of the earth’s resources than the production of vegetable protein;
  • The choice of meat for the main source of protein usually results in a higher level of fat-intake for the eater. 
  • The residual antibiotics and hormones found in some meats are not beneficial to humans, and potentially harmful.
