En conjunto with exposure Corn is our life, members of the group Women Artists and maize (MAMAZ) offer workshops. These workshops aim primarily to raise awareness in the public consumer.
The workshop will talk of industrial food and its health implications, and we talked about the memory of the traditional food. In the U.S., more than in other nations, is slowly losing the connection with food. The younger generations no longer know the taste of milk, chicken, beef, and fresh eggs. Is a group that grew up with fast food and junk and think that this should be the appearance, taste, and smell of food "normal." They know the alternatives. Durante el taller, les hacemos ver algunas.
Primero pasamos el breve documental de Annie Leonard “The story of stuff”que explora las consecuencias ambientales y sociales, muchas veces escondidas, del encanto que tienen los americanos con sus cosas.
Luego pedimos a las participantes que compartan una receta familiar con la que crecieron. En general, estas recetas incluyen frutas, verduras, y carnes que se cultivaban en su comunidad y nos dicen mucho de su zona y sus tradiciones—tales como en cuál temporada se consumían y para qué fiestas. En el pasado, la comida era parte de nuestra identidad, y sigue formando parte de nuestro ser. Now we have to consider what the food industry says about us.
addition, we summarize the development of food industry in Mexico and the United States during the past 10 years. This is to emphasize the importance of traditional agriculture, recovery and storage of native seed and the need to retake control of our eating habits.
The workshops are open to all women of all ages and social class.
