[Green] Minutes, Just Dinner, Call for Agenda items

Dawn:

    Thanks for the reminder about the Just Dinner.

     I have no agenda items to add for the Feb 19 meeting.

     My preference for the videos is Michael Pollan's "Food rules." None of them really fits our intention of providing a broad definition of ethical eating, but we can emphasize that in the discussion. Pollan is well known and would give us a platform from which to start.
