Judaism, Food and Social Justice
Hey yall, this is the first part of 3 part series I’m writing for the Huffington Post about the Jewish food movement. I broke it down into 3 areas: sustainability, social justice, and religion/spirituality. I’m real excited to have this opportunity to get the word out about all the great things going in Jewish food to the Huffpo audience. What do you think I’m missing? What should I include in future posts? How does food, spiritual tradition, and social justice intersect in your life?
Dear G-d no. Last time leftists interfered in the food sector we got ourselves a global food crisis caused by the production of “sustainable” fuel. Leave food alone!
Are you planning to talk about the Progressive Jewish Alliance’s food justice campaign? We’re working to bring grocery stores that provide both fresh food and middle-class jobs to L.A. food deserts. Here’s a link to a Jewish Journal article about it:

It’s exciting!
Hey Julie,
Thanks so much for the heads up on the food justice campaign. Great work there. I’m going to try and put that in now.
Cool! Glad I could help. Let me know if you want to get in touch with any of the organizers.
