"A more up-to-date book that Diet for a Small Planet, this book is a touching account of Frances and Anna's travels around the world in an effort to better understand the role that food plays in our lives. These books seem to contain some sort of good omen for me. i was cooking one of the meals out of this book--Frisian Oat Curry--one night in the dorm, met a friend who also liked to cook, and seven years later we still cook. Since reading her books, i have seen Frances speak several times and was lucky enough to join her in a panel discussion this fall when she visited NAU and Flagstaff. A great woman!"
"This book is amazing. Lappe and her daughter, Anna, travel the world in search of people who are imagining new ways to be together in society. I was moved. I was challenged. I was changed."
"Currently reading and enjoying this book. I heard Frances Moore Lappe speak last winter and at the time bought and read "Getting A Grip." This is a previous book, focusing on positive examples of democracy and participation to relieve poverty and hunger. As the title says, a hopeful perspective. I like that she and her daughter (who co-authors) lend a critical eye to the projects they observe, examining to see if the projects seem effective. And of course I like the hopeful tone of the book, similar to the message of "Getting a Grip.""
"A little dry at times, and slightly repetitive, but if you are interested in our global food supply, this is an eye-opening book. It took me a while to get through it, but at times the stories were so compelling that it was hard to put down. Good for a serious summer read when you will have plenty of time to think."
