1.4 million viewers, millions more on Twitter, learn about the revolution taking place in Florida’s tomato fields as “Food Chains” readies for nationwide release!

Tuesday was a good day for Fair Food.  

With standing room only screenings of “Food Chains” taking place Tuesday in New York City, New Orleans, and Gainesville, Florida (where over 50 people were turned away at the box office, prompting arrangements for a second screening ASAP!), demand for the release of the new documentary is shooting through the roof.  Meanwhile, media coverage of “Food Chains'” imminent release continues to climb, with dozens of stories on the film — and on the Fair Food Program that is its subject — scheduled to appear this week in local and national media across the country.

But just before midnight last night a tremor was felt across the media landscape when “Food Chains” Executive Producer Eva Longoria sat down with Stephen Colbert on the Comedy Channel’s “Colbert Report” to talk Fair Food, the Florida tomato industry, and how consumers can help bring long-overdue reform to our nation’s food industry.  

Ms. Longoria did such a fantastic job of stating the case for Fair Food — from the moment she arrived on the set and placed a delicious looking Fair Food, Florida tomato squarely on the desk in front of her, to when she wrapped up with the Fair Food Program promotional poster (above) projected proudly behind her on the studio wall — that we have nothing to add and will let it speak for itself.  Enjoy! 

And check back tomorrow for more from the fast-breaking world of “Food Chains” and the Campaign for Fair Food!
