Think kids today are lazy bums whose only form of activism is changing their Facebook status?

Check this out: the 2011 Northeast Food and Justice Summit, attracting over 600 high school and college-aged students to Boston this weekend for workshops on food justice, activism and nutrition for all. Conference organizers say the event will be the largest of its kind ever. We’re intrigued, to say the least.

I’m attending the conference on Saturday to let readers know what the next generation of foodies are up to. I’ll be tweeting all day, so be sure to check out the PRK Twitter account for tips, ideas and motivation from speakers and activists.

Any questions on how you can start your own food activism project? Tweet @pubradiokitchen and I’ll try to get your questions answered!
