Roasted Tomato Pasta
Did you know that slavery is happening in tomato fields today? Did you know that it’s not happening in some faraway land but right here in the US? They call the tomato fields in Florida “ground zero” for modern slavery. I didn’t know this but it definitely inspires me to be even more aware of where the food I eat comes from.
Nicole Gulotta who writes the wonderful foodphilanthropy blog The Giving Table is organizing Food Bloggers for Slave-Free Tomatoes today. A bunch of food bloggers are posting their slave-free tomato recipes today as a collective voice for change. Here’s the gist of it:
The Solution: Recipe for Change a campaign led by International Justice Mission in partnership with the Fair Food Standards Council and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is targeting three major grocery chains (Ahold Publix and Kroger’s) this summer and asking their CEOs to support the Fair Food Program. Companies that sign up agree to pay a small price increase for fairly harvested tomatoes (1.5 cents more per pound) and pledge to shift their purchases to Florida tomato growers who adhere to these higher standards and away from those who don’t.
