Stonyfield Yogurt wants to know all about the moment you realized you should be eating organic food. The company knows that people switched to eating organic foods at various points in their lives— for some it might have been a particular moment, for others a more gradual evolution of their thought process. Well, the company wants to know all about it. You can submit a text story, YouTube video or photos to tell you tale. The hope is that organic eaters will find other similarly minded people living in their own communities and that the stories will convince others to take the plunge. The winner of the contest wins a pretty amazing prize: a year of free organic grocery shopping or a month of free Stonyfield Organic products. Some of the entries have come from well-known activists in the food industry. Those people include director Robert Kenner of “Food, Inc.,” Laurie David who wrote“The Family Dinner,” and Chris Elam who created Meatless Monday. Check out a sample video below (from two guys in the rock band Guster, a leader in environmental activism).
