Get ready, health fans! Vassar’s many student groups and health resources have put together a lot of great events, especially for people especially interested in food production and nutrition!
Eating Locally in Winter
Wednesday, November 4, 6-8 p.m., Main, Faculty Parlor
Representatives from the Poughkeepsie Farm Project are visiting Vassar students tonight to answer a question those Californian health-nuts just don’t understand: how do we keep eating local, fresh foods when its too cold to grow? Stop by and get the answer to this troubling question tonight!
“Food, Inc.”, sponsored by the ViCE Film League
Thursday and Friday, November 6 and 7, 7 pm, Blodgett Hall Aud-Nora Ann Wallace 73 Auditorium
“Food Inc.” takes viewers behind the scenes of America’s food production industry, with a focus on health and nutrition. Complete with visuals of questionable food production, interviews with experts, and stories on the dangers of processed foods, “Food Inc.” shows us the ways in which the American food industry is endangering consumers. Totally fascinating, but I don’t recommend bringing a snack to this one. For more information, here’s the movie’s website.
Nutritionist Visit
Sunday, November 8th, 5-7 pm, ACDC
We don’t quite have the details on this one yet, but Lane Bower, a certified nutritionist will be at the DC to answer questions you have about staying healthy in college! If you have anything you’d like VCFit to ask, post them, and we’ll write about what the nutritionist had to say! Or, feel free to pay her a visit on Sunday yourself..its free and open to everyone!
