what’s on YOUR plate?


awyp1.jpg

Aligned with the notion, “we are what we eat” and as a lover of food, I was naturally curious about Discovery Channel’s Planet Green new documentary, What’s on YOUR Plate? When invited to lunch at vegan restaurant Candle to meet the director and on-camera talent, I figured this was a promotional event worth attending.

So, just how did this project land on Planet Green?  President and General Manager, Laura Michalchyshyn explained that she was attracted to the project after catching the fine cut of director Catherine Gund’s doc. (Catherine, above – R)

Through the eyes of two adorable tweens (L to R, above) Sadie and her bff, Sofiya Riddle, we learn about the curvy journey of how food winds up on our plate. (Sadie also happens to be Catherine’s daughter.)

Between sips and sups I met a slew of lovely folks, including Amy Sudaris, the founder of Frugal-Mama.com.  Take a peek at Amy’s review of the film.  I’ll be tuning in tonight for the debut of What’s on YOUR Plate? on Planet Green; (10p-12mid, ET).  It also airs Feb 7, 11 & 12 – check your local listings for time.  Take a look, and let us know what you think.

The table is suitable for interior or exterior use and should make any cycling enthusiast feel right at home.
