ORGANIC FOOD NIGHT

As the Environmental Council, we like to support producers and marketers of organic food.  To help bolster organic food awareness, we hold an "Organic Food Night" during one of our fall meetings.  On this night, both an organic and a refined version of different types of food are available for taste testing.  Often times attendees find out that they really prefer organic foods!  We have had many types of food appear at this meeting, from potatoes to pasta and fruit snacks and Oreo cookies.  A favorite of the group are the fantastic organic "cheesy poofs." 

As a side note, check out this great Star Wars parody about organic food (also listed in our links).  http://www.StoreWars.org
