About the Film: 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.

With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.

Purpose of the REELTalk Film Series:

The purpose of the REELTalk Film Series is to increase community awareness from within and promote understanding of how our health is affected by physical, social and emotional conditions. These health factors are inextricably linked and can affect how we work, live, play and lead in our communities. The outcomes of this series will raise awareness and promote understanding by watching a handful of exciting films that examine "health" from the perspective of "what we eat and why ". The films will showcase these conditions and what can be done to improve overall health, not just as individuals, but as a collective community. Each film will be followed by small group conversations fostering dialogues generating citizen action.

It is very invigorating to bring a product to an appreciative customer. People's comments about the produce we brought to Kamm's were very positive."George Remington, Morningside Farm Roasted Winter and Root Vegetables 3 carrots, peeled 3 parsnips, peeled 3 golden beets 3 turnips 5 brussels sprouts 5 radishes 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 6 Tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped, stems removed 2 teaspoons dried oregano Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.    Rub beets with olive oil and envelop in aluminum foil.  As soon as oven is hot, place inside to roast separately.  You’ll know they’re done when a fork slides into beet easily.   Cut the remaining vegetables into 1-inch cubes. Don’t cut too small, as they’ll shrink while roasting.  Place all cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Toss well to coat.

This month's free desktop wallpaper features Central Roots greens growing steadily under the shelter of a high tunnel built by Tunnel Vision Hoops. Find greens and more at your local farmers' market (yes, they are still going strong!).
