Heal your gut with tasty autumn recipes. Stress, eating processed foods, and even medicines that are supposed to make you feel better can take a toll on your gut and leave you feeling bloated, gassy, and fatigued. Learn how to make incredibly tasty meals that heal your gut on all levels with probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and demulcents. In this class, we will prepare healing foods together and sit down to share the meal and talk. If you want to eat foods that give you energy instead of drain you (and learn how to make them at the same time), then this is the class for you. Come eat and be merry and healthy! This class is open to all, and is great for cancer survivors and caretakers, people with chronic illness, people who have taken antibiotics or steroids recently, or people with food intolerances.

The Dish: Local = Accessible?
Wednesday, November 4, 2015 – 5:30pm to 7:00pm
ArtsRiot (map)
“Local” is a popular buzzword in our food system, but even if food is grown locally, does that mean it’s more accessible? According to US Census data, 13% of Vermont households are food insecure, meaning they don’t have access to enough food to meet basic needs at all times. While creating economic opportunities for Vermont farmers and food producers has been a major goal within our state, the development of the local food system hasn’t necessarily made food more affordable for people experiencing food insecurity. We’ll explore this multifaceted issue and discuss innovative approaches during a lively panel discussion with local food producers and representatives from organizations focused on alleviating food insecurity in Vermont.
