NorthEastern Food Justice Youth Summit

This past weekend young TBC movement makers traveled to Boston and attended the Food Justice Youth Summit. This summit brought together college and highschool students who led youth workshops about a variety of food justice issues. They attended workshops that rallied to retire Ronald McDonald, speak out against farmer wage abuse, and think about where their food comes from. They went on a rally for the farmers, led a workshop about seasonal cooking and even went on stage during an open mike night! See what they had to say below.....

"This past weekend I took a trip to Northeastern University for a food conference. I went  with my schools Program Teen Battle Chef and Health Corps. In this University we talked about healthy eatings and we attended workshops. Well I enjoyed this trip and I got to meet people that were interested in the same things I am into. I met people from all over such as Philly, Maine, Maryland, Boston,...etc. Also we attended a march for farmworkers. The farmworkers were fighting so that all the major companies would pay them at least one cent more for all the tomatoes they carry. So Thank You Health Corps and Teen Battle Chef for this wonderful experience " -Chef Genesis
