Where does the food we eat come from? Two 11-year-olds are trying to find the answer to this question in a provocative and witty documentary about kids and food politics. What’s On Your Plate? is screening tonight at 6:30 p.m. at The Rotunda (4014 Walnut Street). Two girls, Sadie and Safiyah, take a close look at food systems in New York City and its surrounding areas. With the camera as their companion, the kids visit supermarkets, fast food chains, school lunchrooms and talk to their families, food activists, farmers, and the viewer in their quest to understand what’s on all our plates.

The film screening is part of monthly Food Justice Movie Night presented by The Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative (AUNI). A free dinner and discussion about the food system in urban areas begin at 6 p.m.

Here’s the film’s trailer:

Very friendly Ferdinand has not been seen since early last weekend, and his family is very worried about him.

Neighbor Margie is looking for a foster home for her kitten Perry:

“In early January, during our first cold spell, I rescued a mother and 3 kittens from under a porch on 49th St. The mother and two of the kittens are in stable situations (one kitten is adopted, another possibly adopted).

Unfortunately, the third kitten, Perry, has a mild physical condition that requires some extra care. He has been with a cat rescue friend the last two weeks (while I was away), but she can’t keep him past tomorrow. I really can’t have him back in my place! My old cats (19 and 14 years old) won’t tolerate him. They are so glad that I’m back, and are spending a lot of time with me. I’d hate to lock them out of the office (I work at home). Also, it’s very hard for me to work with Perry in the office and he only wants to play; I really don’t have anywhere else he could be.

Would you consider fostering Perry? It would only likely be for a couple of weeks. He would love to have a cat(s) to play with, and he is okay with dogs. He behaves totally normal and has lots of energy. He is a purr machine! He needs to have his butt wiped twice a day, and should eat soft canned food mixed with water and fish oil (which I would provide) to keep his stools loose, and can’t use clay litter. He has been neutered and had his first round of shots. Would anyone here like to have adorable Perry in their lives for a short while? I would SOOO appreciate it.”

If you would like to foster Perry, please contact Margie at: margie [at] mpolitzer.com or 267 275 7010.

West Philadelphia Catholic High School erupted into celebration earlier today when the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced that it would not close as expected.

The school, which was put on the Philadelphia Archdiocese closing list in early January and was supposed to shut down in June, will stay open after today’s announcement by Archbishop Charles Chaput, NBC reports. All four Catholic high schools on the closing list will remain open. Chaput said that the community support was substantial after the January announcement and that the cash pledges and donations to keep the schools open reached $12 million. The plan is to raise $100 million in five years to keep all four Catholic high schools open.

After six years of operation, Wake Up Yoga is closing its West Philly location at 49th & Baltimore. The announcement was posted on their website and Facebook page. The studio will be staying open through April 17 when the last class will be taught.
