Rainforest Relief Executive Director Tim Keating presented on the panel "Challenging Big Food" at the Brooklyn Food Conference on Saturday, May 2.

The full title of the workshop was
"Challenging Big Food: How Food Transnationals Harm
our Health and Environment and How to Fight Back".

"Food corporations now grow, process and sell most of the food eaten in the united states and their reach is increasing abroad. From Mcdonald’s to Cargill to Monsanto, these transnational giants drive a set of abuses all along the food chain, including the epidemic of obesity and diet-related diseases, global warming and food safety crises. Come hear what advocacy groups are doing to challenge these abuses and learn how you can help take action."

Other panelists included Judy Grant, Director, Value [the] Meal Campaign, Corporate Accountability International;
Ria Knapp, Campaign Coordinator, Climate Counts;
Ray Rogers, Founder, Corporate Campaign, Inc. and
Campaign to Stop Killer Coke.
