DESCRIPTION:Do you know where your chicken comes from? Carole Morison, the former 
 chicken farmer featured in Food, Inc., will tell the story of her 23 years 
 working within the industrial poultry system, in which growers must agree 
 to practices that cause water and land pollution, mistreat animals and 
 produce birds full of antibiotics. Currently an activist for the rights of 
 family farmers, Morrison will share harrowing insights she gained and 
 lessons she uses to help farmers improve local food systems.  She will be 
 joined by farmers Norman and Aimee Gunsell of Mountain Ranch 
 OrganicallyGrown, who raise 500-800 chickens at a time—organically and on 
 pasture—and sell the birds at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. The 
 Gunsells will speak about their commitment to sustainable poultry and what 
 that means, and tell how chicken eaters can find better alternatives to 
 factory-farmed meat.\n\nMichael Pollan, author of Food Rules, In Defense of 
 Food, and The Omnivore's Dilemma, will introduce the panelists and frame 
 the debate. Our moderator will be Anya Fernald, who launched the Slow Food 
 Nation event and now supports the development of values-driven food 
 businesses through her company, Live Culture.\n\nThe panel will begin 
 promptly at 6:30 and end at 8:00. A reception with farmers' market 
 refreshments will follow.\n\nTickets are $5.00 and available through brown 
 paper tickets. Some tickets may also be available at the door on a first 
 come, first served basis.\n \n\n
