Food & Freedom Rides Rally Young Leaders for Real Food It’s not your ordinary summer road trip. 13 young leaders. 8 states. 2000 miles.  A journey to expose the injustices in the food system “from the ‘hood to the heartland”. Tipping their hats to the Freedom Rides of the Civil Rights Movement, a group of inspired young leaders who call themselves the Food & Freedom Riders will carry forward the struggle for justice. Their task is to uncover the stories of farmers, workers, and communities who are working to change the food system that denies them justice. Their goal is to weave together a movement of people from diverse backgrounds—to learn from the past and find the food movement’s own place in history. According to Navina Khanna from Live Real, the organization behind the wheels, the Food & Freedom Rides are taking place at an important moment in time: Right now, over 50 million Americans face food hardship, and today’s youth are the first generation with a shorter life expectancy than their parents—because of the food they eat.  We want to show that real food is a real solution—for economic revitalization, personal and public health, and the environment.   To read more, follow this link: http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/slow_food/blog_post/food_freedom_rides_rally_young_leaders_for_real_food
