Join NPI and Recipe for America author Jill Richardson this Friday

Tired of a food system that puts big corporate profits ahead of consumer safety, family farmers, and our environment?

Then please join us this Friday evening for a conversation with Jill Richardson, industry expert, activist, and author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Borken and What We Can Do To Fix It. Jill has been blogging for years about these issues as OrangeClouds115 on Daily Kos, and her diaries there are undoubtedly familiar to many of our readers.

Here's the details of the event:
