short exploration of the growing gulf between the values on which a food coop was founded and the place where it finds itself, filled with products of unknown origin, buffeted by conflicting consumer demands and growing pressure as its traditional suppliers are gobbled up by multinationals. This video was developed at the request of the Coop's BOD for a public forum on choices. A much larger version of this video is in the works, with numerous in-store interviews with consumers, who express their core concern: that the Coop provide assurance that the products the Coop chooses to carry truly reflect their expectations and continue to justify their trust.
There is now a website that has grown from this discussion and a wiki as well. www.breskin.com/coop
