Trailer for Food Patriots

Food Patriots

This short trailer for the 2014 documentary, Food Patriots, makes a definitional argument for a new kind of citizen: a food patriot. What does this mean? While this video text is just a little over three minutes long, it is crammed with information about one family’s goal to inspire people to “make a 10 percent change in how they buy, eat, and talk about food.” By the end of this lively and often funny trailer, you will know the definition of “food patriot.” Are you one, or do you know anyone who is? Based on the trailer, why do these activists use the word “patriot” to describe their engagement with the food system? Do you agree with them? Why?
