Eating 'Good' on the Cheap

Next Thursday, February 28th, BU is sponsoring what surely will be a lively and engaging panel discussion, entitled "The Foodie's Dilemma: How Boston's Cheapskates Can Eat Sustainably." They have a great panel of people coming to speak, and it is certainly a topic that we ALL struggle with, whether still in our student years or not! The event is being organized by Slow Food BU, part of the Slow Food on Campus movement. Check out more details below.

Thursday, February 28th 7:30 pm
Boston University, Kenmore Classroom Building (565 Commonwealth Avenue), Room 101
The event is free for BU students, faculty, and staff; with a suggested donation of $5 from the public (proceeds go to Slow Food BU).

The word is out: industrially-produced food just isn't that good for your body, the environment, and your conscience. But it's not easy to eat all that delicious, local, sustainably-produced food while trying balance your meager student budget and braving a cold winter in the city. So why bother? These foodie-experts will discuss the merits and difficulties of eating ethically:
