 coming to Oakland, California on October 18, 2014: The First Feeding the

 freshwater use and 33% of man-made emissions are due to our food system. 
 And at the same time we waste, 1 in 6 in the U.S. (1 in 5 in Alameda 
 County) are food insecure or do not know where their next meal is coming 
 from at some point during the year.\n\nFeeding the 5000 provides tasty 
 solutions to this massive global food waste and hunger problem.

 awareness festival that includes:\n\n•A meal for 5000 people on quality 
 fresh food that would have otherwise been waste before it hit the stores - 
 such "ugly" but tasty fruit and vegetables that did not meet supermarkets' 
 strict cosmetic standards\n\n•Grocery giveaways of hundreds of pounds of 
 good tasty produce\n\n•Keynote speeches - Already confirmed to speak: 
 Tristram Stuart of Feeding5k.org, Dana Gunders of the Natural Resources 
 Defense Council, Jonathan Bloom of WastedFood.com and; Robert Egger,
