American food movement must speak out on immigration

Here is an interesting critical angle on the slew of state immigration laws being passed in legislatures across the United States. Gretchen Sierra-Zorita in “American food movement must speak out on immigration” contends that “state anti-immigration laws are disrupting our food production system, and no one in the American food movement is speaking out. Failure to join the immigration debate will limit the movement’s ability to influence immigration laws that could transform the American diet.”

Sierra-Zorita is project director of Media Diversity Initiatives at the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts.
