The Corny Truth
The Corny Truth is a mural which shows viewers the parallel universes of Food Hell and Food Heaven. Food Hell is a timeline of industrial agriculture, from the farm to the household. It shows the faults of our food systems today, as well as some possible extremes that result from them. Food Heaven on the other hand, shows the more environmental and society friendly aspects of our food industries, as well as their results.
How do the things we buy affect the environment? Do you constantly find yourself reaching for your wallet everywhere you go? Did you know that everything we spend our money on takes a chunk out of our earth? Less Fest is a priceless event that tackles consumerism in a sustainable way. Discover alternatives to this growing dilemma and learn how it affects humans, animals and nature. Through our youth-led games and booths, visitors of all ages will be inspired to change their lifestyles to help save money - and our planet.
Join us Saturday, June 26th @ Hayes Valley Farm from 11:00am to 3:00pm for "The Corny Truth" and Less Fest.
Create and display your own outfits in our recycled-material fashion show! Watch live performances! ENJOY FREE FOOD! Also, join us in the unveiling of our interactive mural, "The Corny Truth: A Journey Of Food!" Explore alternate journeys of the foods we eat, how they travel from the field to our plates, and how our choices affect the world around us.
The Corny Truth (continued)
The reason why fast food is one of the richest industries in the world is because WE eat it. Every time you buy cereal, or fruit, or a burger, its like a vote for what food you want to see in the future. The Corny Truth is a piece that is constantly growing because the community is what drives the food industry. The Corny Truth is, in truth, an incomplete mural. Our project goes on for much longer than one day. This event is an unveiling ceremony for a mural piece which will never be done, because we created only the centerpiece of the mural. The rest of it is blank space, which will be filled by the community over time.
