The True Cost of Food
How much does a glass of milk really cost?
A campaign to promote sustainable food choices.
from the Sierra Club National Sustainable Consumption Committee.
We, the consumers, through our food choices, can stop the practices that harm our health, our planet, and our quality of life.
Do you want a short, informative film to help your friends and neighbors understand the true cost of food production in the U.S.? This new DVD from the Sierra Club is just the right video to initiate discussion on community food sustainability. Now that the cost of oil is skyrocketing, it pays to give some attention to the problem of the high dependency of our food production on transportation and oil based farm inputs.

It’s only 15 minutes long and it’s just right for initiating a conversation on food. It would also work well for teachers to use with their students- and why not order copies for your local legislators?
