Suggesting MEBC in Action
MEBC’s purpose is to reconnect communities with food that is a source of health and empowerment rather than food that is a source of disease and depletion. It is part of a grassroots movement toward a new paradigm: eating as an expression of dignity, identity, self-respect, and empowerment. BCA believes that food equity, a meal shared with loved ones, and informed food choices will change behaviors that impact physical, social, and environmental wellbeing.
Many global health experts agreed that one of the root causes of the global health crisis is poor nutrition. When we lose the collective memory of our community origins and our history of the nurturing power of food, our food becomes nothing more than a “quick fix,” resulting in lower positive energy, obesity and other negative health outcomes. Addictive, and unhealthy eating patterns impact our overall community wellness.
