Keep your eyes out for this bus! It's the Eat Well Guided Tour of America Bus, loaded with folks from Sustainable Table, the New York-based nonprofit program dedicated to educating consumers about food related issues, offering viable solutions to industrial based agriculture, and building community.
The bio-fueled bus is currently traveling across the country to potlucks, pie competitions and roundtable discussions between farmers, ranchers, chefs and retailers in over 25 states. It will finally stop at the September 9th Farm Aid concert at Randall's Island in New York City.
Highlights of the tour include:
* Pie Across America" - Pies are a great metaphor for local, wholesome food, and their ingredients tell stories about the people who bake them and the areas where they're created. Sustainable Table is honoring pie-making traditions by baking, tasting, comparing, sharing and eating endless varieties of pies from across the country.
* The September launch of the Eat Well Guide "road trip" feature - Think Eat Well Guide meets Mapquest. Conscientious eaters will be able to map out routes with sustainable food outlets from start point to destination.
* Moopheus and friends - Life size characters from "The Meatrix" are also on board the bus visiting towns across America. www.themeatrix.com
