Community Eats!

On one of my many frequent trips to Sprouts (a student run café at UBC) I notice a sign about Community Eats! In-between big bites of my delicious Apple Cinnamon Corn Cake (its better than it sounds) I frantically wrote down the information before heading off to class.

Here it is:

Community Eats! is a biweekly lunch served for free (FREE in Vancouver?? I had to double check that) at the café in the UBC SUB. It offers students a chance to get together and discuss food based issues; such as sustainability, health and organic farming. The best part is all the lunches are cooked with food that would otherwise be thrown out. For example, lots of it comes from produce stores that can’t sell bruised fruits and veggies. What a great idea! I love it. So for anyone on campus, these forums are held every other Friday 11:30-1:30pm.
