Introduction: The Food Less Traveled - Duration: 3:25.
It's our most essential, basic need in this world. Over top of cars, bills,
cell phones, computers, clothes and everything else
that we have in our world.
It was James Beard, perhaps one of America's best-known chefs
that called food the common denominator that brings people
together. In the summer of 2017, I set out on a road trip from Mexico to Canada to
tell a story of a common denominator and to share the voices of our collective food community.
My name is Caroline Kamm and I am a graduate student, researcher,
and food advocate. Years ago, while I was doing my research in Belgium, I met a
farmer with a powerful point of view. He had founded a farmers cooperative to
tackle many of the challenges that farmers in the region faced. Farmers were
struggling with falling food prices, competition from abroad, and apathy from
politicians. After telling me about all of these challenges he looked me right
in the eye and told me: "It's a scary time to be a farmer, but it's also a little
exciting, don't you think? Since then I have set out to find other farmers
and food advocates like him, that see the exciting
opportunities in the food system. It is their stories that have the potential to
inspire others to make a difference of their own. This series will focus on
eight food and farming initiatives across North America. Each of them is
tackling a major challenge in the food system through their own unique work.
They all recognize that we have an uphill battle ahead of us, and even so
they have committed to making their mark. When I began this project my initial
focus was on local food. I thought about the experiences that first engaged me
with food issues, usually something as simple as going to the farmers market.
But when it comes to food system change I recognized that we needed diversity of
approaches, some big and some small. A local food system is more than how far
your food has traveled, it is about building stronger and healthier food communities
We are so excited to share stories from
these eight organizations with the world. More than that we are striving to put
these organizations into communication with one another, to reveal how their
work is in fact a component of a larger process of food system change.
These are the voices of North American food heroes and we want to celebrate the diversity
and ingenuity of their work. Join us as we journey through North American local food.
And beyond the single journey we hope you will join us in our mission of
building community around our common denominator. Food is essential,
it is liberating and as you will see in this series, a better food system
is worth fighting for.

Ungrateful LaVar Ball Just Made SICK Demand From Trump After He Saved His Son From China |MK Today - Duration: 7:50.
Ungrateful LaVar Ball Just Made SICK Demand Of What He Wants From Trump After He Saved
His Son From China.
After President Trump helped secure the release of three UCLA basketball players from "house
arrest" in China for shoplifting controversy is still swirling.
When the players were freed, thanks to Trump speaking to President Xi, the young men were
sent back to America.
Cody Riley, Jalen Hill and LiAngelo Ball, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers
rookie Lonzo Ball all thanked Trump for intervening on their behalf, but not everyone appreciates
what the president did.
LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo Ball, is not accepting of President Trump's help
in the situation one bit and has made a point to bash him every chance he gets.
In an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo on Monday night, Ball went on a disgusting rant
diminishing Trump's help, and that is not all he said.
"I would have said thank you if he put him on his plane and took him home," the elder
Ball told Cuomo.
"Then I would have said thank you, Mr. Trump, for taking my boys out of China and bringing
them back to the U.S.
There's a lot of room on that plane.
I would have said thank you kindly for that."
Watch the Video :
Now, that is not the worse of what Ball had to say in this interview, in fact, those are
just the highlights.
Ball went on to downplay the actions of his son essentially saying that shoplifting in
China was not that big of a deal.
"I'm from LA.
I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.
My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn't define him.
Now if you can go back and say when he was 12 years old he was shoplifting and stealing
cars and going wild, then that's a different thing," he added.
"Everybody gets stuck on the negativity of some things, and they get stuck on them
too long.
That's not me.
I handle what's going on, and then we go from there."
So, LaVar Ball is saying that since President Trump did not invite the players onto Air
Force One, essentially rewarding them for bad behavior, he doesn't need to thank him.
It is evident that LaVar Ball is missing the point, and what makes it even more ironic
is that liberal bootlicker, Whoopi Goldberg gets it.
Last week, Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts on ABC's "The View" expressed their
astonishment over the fact that these players were arrested in the first place.
Then Goldberg went on to say that the players embarrassed the country, President Trump,
and most of all themselves, and the credited Trump for their safe release back home.
"You embarrassed your families, you embarrassed the country, and you embarrassed the president,"
Goldberg said.
"Now I'm not a big fan of the president, but the fact that he had to call and get your
asses out of there is not anything to be proud of or think is cool."
Watch the Video :
Now, it
is not often that anyone on the conservative side agrees with any of these ladies on "The
View" but even a broken clock gets it right twice a day, and these women got it right
this time.
Maybe LaVar Ball should take a few notes from these women and say thank you to President
Trump for his help or at the very least he can keep his mouth shut.
what do you think about this?
