Details on the film:

We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?

Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences.

Featuring interviews with TED lecturer, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers, retailers, inspiring organizations, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.

Woodland’s CYCLE CINEMA CLUB is an online cinema club screening remotely a mixture of feature films, documentaries that explore Climate Change. Each screening will be followed with an online discussion on zoom and occasional extra special attendees such as directors of the work.

At Woodlands Community our Climate Action Project explores three strands, active travel, waste & food. This programming correlates with our focus on Food Waste and Composting throughout spring.

Within this programming there will something be for everyone, adults, young adults & children alike. Some of the screenings are perfect for a family viewing. Why not get your kids to come along, gain confidence asking questions in a safe public setting and collectively, openly reflect on climate change?
