A Rude Awakening with Frances Moore Lappé

KPFA - A Rude Awakening

Diet for a Small Planet helped spark a revolution in how we understand the roots of hunger is celebrating its 50th anniversary on A Rude Awakening

Join us for a conversation with activist and author Frances Moor Lappé

“Hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food, but by a scarcity of democracy.” —Frances Moore Lappé

In 1971, Diet for a Small Planet broke new ground, revealing how our everyday acts are a form of power to create health for ourselves and our planet. This extraordinary book first exposed the needless waste built into a meat-centered diet. Now, in a special edition for its 50th anniversary, world-renowned food expert Frances Moore Lappé goes even deeper, showing us how plant-centered eating can help restore our damaged ecology, address the climate crisis, and move us toward real democracy. Sharing her personal journey and how this revolutionary book shaped her own life, Lappé offers a fascinating philosophy on changing yourself—and the world—that can start with changing the way we eat.
