Don’t miss this Bay Area showing of an interesting documentary that asks the question – Is it Possible to Eat Healthy on a Food Stamp Budget? Food Stamped A Documentary Film by Shira and Yoav Potash 7:00 PM, Sunday, June 28th East Bay JCC Theater 1414 Walnut Street, Berkeley, CA Admission: $10 Film to be followed by Q and A with the filmmakers Food Stamped is an informative and humorous documentary film following a couple as they attempt to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet on a food stamp budget. Nutrition educator Shira Potash teaches nutrition-based cooking classes to elementary school students in low-income neighborhoods, most of whom are eligible for food stamps. In an attempt to walk a mile in their shoes, Shira and her documentary filmmaker husband embark on the “food stamp challenge” where they eat on roughly one dollar per meal. Along the way, they consult with food justice activists, nutrition experts (OUR VERY OWN DARLENE FUJII IS FEATURED!!!!), politicians, and ordinary people living on food stamps, all in order to take a deep look at the struggles low-income Americans face every day while trying to put three-square meals on the table.
