Earth Day Brings Food Doc 'PlanEat' to Library

Celebrate Earth Day with Montclair green group on Thursday.

In celebration of Earth Day 2014, Montclair’s Sustainability Office and Community Green will present “PlanEat”,  another illuminating environmental film on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Montclair Public Library, 50 South Fullerton Ave. All events at the library are free.

“PlanEat” is the story of three men's life-long search for a diet which is good for our health, good for the environment, and good for the future of the planet. With a cast of pioneering chefs and some of the best cooking ever seen, scientists and doctors in the film present a convincing case for Western culture to re-examine our love affair with meat and dairy.

The film features new ground-breaking work exploring the link between diet and disease, the use of diet to treat heart disease patients, and investigations into how our food choices contribute to global warming, land degradation, and oceanic dead-zones.

With the help of some innovative farmers and chefs, “PlanEat” shows how the problems we face today can be satisfyingly solved without resorting to a diet of simply lentils and lettuce leaves.

Join us for this free film and an inclusive public discussion afterwards.
