Craig King has a vision of a better way to eat. The former personal chef from Boulder has made a  film, “Here We Grow,” that  plows fertile ground with its indictment of America’s industrial food supply.  But, refreshingly, he wants to more than just preach to the locavores of the world. He hopes to use proceeds from he movie to put together a pilot project to bring healthy foods to people who can’t get them easily.

“As a chef who’s enthused about nourishing people, I saw there was a huge gap in the underserved community,” King says. “Even if (residents) walked miles, there’s no clean, healthy food.”

See the film at Whole Foods  on a demo table on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday this week in Boulder or buy it from the store.
