If you’ve been meaning to catch one of their screenings, but haven’t yet done so, take heart: “What’s On Your Plate?” will air on the Discovery Channel on Saturday, February 6th
.
Consider planning a viewing party! Have a potluck, host a discussion, watch the movie in your living—anything goes. Just make sure to save the date in your calendars now. Click here to learn more about the film; it follows two eleven-year old multi-racial city kids as they explore their place in the food chain in New York City. You can also read about the movie right here on our blog where we wrote about it last July.

Thanks for the heads up. I want to see this! Maybe I will get a viewing party together with the outdoor club I’m involved with.

Such a great idea. By the way, according to their website it’s actually on Sunday, February 7.

Adriana,
You’re right! It looks like the airing date is now Sunday the 7th. Also, you can download an educational viewer’s guide/toolkit here: http://whatsonyourplateproject.org/blog/takeaction/toolkit

Further clarification: the premiere is indeed on the 6th (phew, I’m not crazy), with additional airings on the 7th and beyond…

I agree, this is a great movie. I watched it with my kids and wrote about what we learned here:
