We envision a world in which all people have access to healthy, affordable food that nourishes our bodies and environments. Yet right now, that vision is plagued by severe inequality. Due to a food system skewed by the financial interests of transnational corporations, we live in a society in which unhealthy food is cheap, heavily marketed, and abundant, but healthy food is more expensive and can be difficult to come by. In this chat, we'll discuss this issue of food justice and how it reflects the corporate abuse of our food system.

Join #FoodFri with @MomsRising and @StopCorpAbuse on Friday, October 17, 2014 at 1pm, EST to chat about food justice and equality.

Together, we can raise our voices and spread the word because every child deserves the right to healthy, affordable food.
